Milkweed Seedpod with Snow

Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 21 February 2008 in Plant & Nature.

We got a sprinkling of snow yesterday. This is a milkweed seedpod with just one seed left inside. Taken in the meadow behind our house.

I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.

If I have made a mistake in a flower identification, please let me know!

A few words about the EXIF data, beginning in April when I began using Nikon D300 and the Sigma 105mm macro: My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site.

Does anyone else see a sculpture of a duck's head in this image? Great photography sees for the rest of us and then captures that image for all time. What a blessing.
