Morning's Emerald Curl
I got up early while the early morning dew had not evaporated, to take this macro shot using my Nikon D500 and a Sigma 17-70mm lens.
The image focuses tightly on a coiled stem that suspends a heart-shaped, vibrant green seed head, which darkens to a purplish hue at its base. The entire structure is liberally adorned with tiny, sparkling droplets of dew, catching the soft morning light. The gentle curve of the stem creates an elegant S-shape, adding beautiful movement to the composition. The background is a smooth, bokeh blur of deeper greens and browns, which keeps the viewer's attention firmly on the remarkable texture and detail of the foreground subject.
