A Grassy Supernova II

[Pete Askew]

A different orientation and the light slightly shifted to the front right.

Cambo Legend + Cooke 229mm soft focus lens + PhaseOne P45 back. ISO 100, 1s at f1:5.6. Lit using a single spot to the right against a black background. PP in CaptureOne Pro (White balance and raw processing) / LR (crop) and Nik SilverEFEX Pro 2 (grain, toning and border).

I prefer this angle over that of the first, though I still can't see any connection between the main stem and the rest.

 

[Pete Askew]

I do too. It is a very fragile structure and those awns are very thin. I like the way the seed head and awns cast shadows on the ones on the other side.

Like a firework.

Oh aye! Cracker!

Thanks, Dave.
