Quality shot, as said, superb detail. I am guessing flash for lighting?

I love it Dave, as I said over on flickr it's just spot on, I've not seen any seed heads this year, that said I've not really looked yet

Hi, Dave, great detail and contrast.

Do you have any square format, ie more on the top and bottom?

Cheers.

Beautiful shot. Lovely feeling of depth. Nice 3D feel to it.

Beautiful shot Dave, and I like the symetry.

 

[SevernBore]

Great sharpness and definition. What lens did you use?

 

[IanClark]

Details in the image say 105mm so I'm guessing a Sigma 105. I think the only other 105mm Macro lens is one for the Nikons.

Thanks Matt, Ive got a great idea for a Jack O lantern (jack go to bed at noon) spore, they look like dandelion spores but about 2" long, stay tuned

Hi, Dave, great detail and contrast.

Thanks Andy no I filled the frame with the shot, in hind sight maybe I should have done a wider shot so I could get the square format as well

Beautiful shot. Lovely feeling of depth. Nice 3D feel to it.
