A seed capsule

Somehow spring cannot come permanently. It seems to be getting warmer, the birds are building their nests, but the plants are not yet developing. This is an empty capsule from last year. I liked its layered structure and spikes.

Love all the detail from the close up and the use of b&w. Reminds me of Blossfeldt's work.

You're right - this begs rendition in b&w! I shot those, not long ago, but I kept the pics in colour and the effect was middling.

A great combination of textures, and the b&w makes the textures really stand out. Fav
