I took the photo of the exploding heart in Grugapark (Essen, Germany) as part of the "park lighting". In the b&w-processing I was of the opinion that the noise fits the subject, so I did not remove it.
Ich nahm das Foto des explodierendierenden Herzens im Grugapark (Essen, Deutschland) im Rahmen des "Parkleuchtens" auf. Bei der Schwarzweisbearbeitung war ich der Meinung, dass das Bildrauschen zum Motiv passt, so dass ich es nicht entfernt habe.

Two for the price of one today. This was my initial idea for the Photoshopped challenge, but I couldn't get it to work when I first tried it. Too late now, but I thought I'd post it anyway. :)

Actually this was just a Muscovy Duck Cairina moschata having a good old splash around in the water to give the feathers a thorough clean.

This is the part of the coneflower holding myriad disc florets. Collectively it is called the disk or capitulum. The disc florets are the fertile reproductive parts - pistil and stamens which will form the seeds. The few yellow parts in the image are the anthers of the flower. And you did not even know the question, did you? Well, now you've seen the naughty bits of the purple coneflower. Happy?
interesting effect from autostitch with this one, the cups spin in the breeze so the bits moved between shots used in the stitch, which created some interesting ghosting and some disjointed arms which (for a nice change) add to the impact of a stitched imaged rather than make it an instant failure...
at least.. thats what i think.
some more conventional shots of this thing are next in my stream.
It's difficult to find wildflowers in late summer, but during one of my last walks in the woods, I found this star-shaped thistles releasing seeds while still keeping their yellow colour. The species is Carlina hispanica.
Since then, it has rained quite a bit and I think some autumn flowers may already be blooming. I need them if I want to finish this project, there are only 3 months left, and they aren't exactly known for flower abundance in the Northern Hemisphere. But I think it's still possible.
