Milkweed

At this time of the year, all the milkweed seed pods in the yard have started to open. I try to get a couple of shots outside but it's been overcast most mornings so I decided to to bring one inside for a closer look.

 

Given my current trajectory, I would have loved to shoot this with some kind of a super focus stack but that was no to be. Too much going on to get a decent stack (at least at my current level of ability) so I did a quick pivot and went with a single frame at f/16. I was pleased with the result.

 

Nikon 55mm f/2.8 NIKKOR Micro, Single shot at f/16.

 

BTW: Doesn't the surface of the seed pod look like some alien land?
