Good find and timing. The proportion of stem works for me, perspective looks good, you’re basically on a level with the seed head. Background is nicely distanced from the subject, something hard to find with this environment sometimes. We haven’t had a lasting hard frost yet, but I’m looking forward to it.
With all the upward thrust of this species, I think maybe a touch more room on the top and the same off the bottom might be worth trying, Sandy. Very cool frost on this seed head and I really like the extra little tuft of frost coming off one of the spikes.
It’s an interesting subject, Sandy, and a good composition. It’s my neurosis speaking but I’d prefer for the stem to be straight, even if it was leaning when you took the shot.
I like this one Sandy. I think the crop works pretty well. I like color better than B&W, but this really shows off the frost well in the B&W. I wonder if you could bump up the contrast a bit what it would look like.
Sandy,
This a beautiful image showing the effect of Nature - A wabi-sabi. I love the details and the colors. Agree with Dennis on leaving some space, but I also like as it is. Great find and well captured.
Great Tone and Lines in your image. Maybe a little more contrast. Maybe burn parts of the image in and maybe a small vignette. I really like the depth of field in this image. Keeping the background soft and the plant up front and sharp. Very cool !!! works great in Black and white
Sandy: Brrrr! I got over enjoying the cold when I was in Korea but this image works so well to convey the feeling. A really nice find and a superb capture. >=))>
