A quarter to...

Art, 

I like all of these that you have posted.  I am sure it took patience and no sneezing.  I am wondering if you set the black background up outside or carried the subject into the indoors.

One puzzlement is your title on this one. Should it not be "...a quarter past?"

Regards,

This is a tremendous image Art, very carefully crafted.

A couple of suggestions if I may. The center and the stalk look a little light to me. Darkening them actually brings out more texture. Also, I detect a slight bluish cast, only visible in the seeds.

Beautiful, great macro

Thanks very much Jerry, Scott and Carlos for your comments!

Jerry, you're right on the title, but liked it more to suggest something to come than past...  needs to flip the screen up side down... No sneezing and breathing for sure! the subject was taken indoor with a black blackground, would be almost impossible outdoor with wind.

Scott, I like your processing and tighter cropping very much. Thanks for suggesting.

Excelente luz, color y encuadre, gran nitidez, Saludos Art.

I think Scott is right though!

Art, THis is beautiful. Anything other than a black background and the most interesting part would be lost.

Delicate and artsy.....Black is the perfect bg.
