Yeah, yeah, I know, theses have been done to death. Sorry, but it's a first for me.
Seeds fall essentially straight down when dropped without a breeze, so I tilted my set up to give the appearance that it is being carried away by a breeze.
Finally realized that some fall more slowly than others. Once I found a good one, took numerous shots with it.
Nice having a camera and flash that can sync at high shutter speeds to substantially capture motion of dropped seed.
PP: Convert from raw, Shadow/Highlight, Hue/Sat, Noise Ninja, Re-size, Slight sharpen
POST: Thanks for all the comments (even yours, Eric)! This did much better than I had expected.
Why is it that entries I expect to score well do poorly and ones I expect to score poorly do well?

Well, you didn't. It scored in the top 5 because this is DPC. Your lighting is off and nothing is original. If you can't handle honest critiques on your images, perhaps a public challenge forum isn't for you. Your retaliation was very, very unnecessary.

| Nice use of lighting and it has an anthropomorphic feel to it - kind of reminds me of a mother watching one of her kids leave the nest. |

| I like the composition and the minimalistic image you have presented here, but the subject matter suffers from commonality here on DPC. There are a lot of dandelions on DPC. In fact, I think I've even seen a few with the same type of blown technique. Something seems off to me with the lighting. The highlights seem a little too harsh. 5. |
