excellent photo. BW is good choice, great contrast, composition, and focus.
this is one of my favorite things to draw. I just never have been as successful as God or camera.

Fantabulous Willie... like little wispy star bursts. Black and and white was a great choice. Nice details and clarity.
Now I need to make a wish!
Great shot buddy!

Comment from Palominolady
It may be just a dreaded weed to some, but I find the seed heads to be quite beautiful. I love the black and white and the close-up view. The initial impact is WOW. Great detail, focus, clarity and contrast. Good editing, very well done.

Superb job willie.

Detail is phenomenal.

Contrast and the b/W conversion really work nicely with this image.

Composition and cropping are excellent.
