Wow! This is wonderful, with a very interesting composition and lovely colors. I only wish for more DOF. It’s possible to do stacks with these older cameras/lenses if you’re on a sturdy tripod and increment the focus ring minutely between shots.

This is cool James. It has an almost ethereal feel to it as shot. I would like to see more depth perhaps, but I think the soft focus almost works in your favor to fit your title very well.

Very unusual and quite compelling!
Great eye to have seen this !

James, I think you got this perfect, with the nice focus on the four seeds, set of well by the oof parts of the seed head behind.
