Monday Macro. Macro of clematis seed head.

Monday Macro. Macro of clematis seed head.
Seed head of Clematis viorna. I don't know exactly which variety as I was given the plant as a small seedling six years ago. You may be able to see the fine threads of a spider web here too.

The seed head is still gold and green, so I changed the original photo to black and white, and highlighted the details using Silver Efex.

Au Cœur... diagonalhorizon, Sami Serola (inactive), Erhard Bernstein, and 22 other people have particularly liked this photo

Good morning, Amelia,
so we had the same idea to show the seedhead of clematis in this mondays topic.
Yours is just like a snake star

I think it would have been easier to pick a seedhead and take it inside onto a dark background, Klaus, as you probably had the sense to do. The hairs on the achenes in your photos are much clearer.

Yes, it's another kind of Clematis, not so much feathers. You're right, I take such objects often in my "Studio" - just a black paper, a lamp and a little jar...

Vor dem dunklen Hintergrund hebt hebt sich der Samen einschließlich Spinnenwebe sehr eindrucksvoll ab. Mir gefallen auch die Grauwerte sehr gut.

Thank you, Gisela. It would have been easier to pick the seedhead and take it indoors for the photo.

It's rather like a brittle star in many ways, Tanja. Nature has wonderful forms don't you think?

A great macro Amelia, I think I would have edited out the spider web it doesn't seem to belong to the rest of the wonderful image

It's the imperfections that count, Peter. ;-)
The threads give you an idea of how fine the hairs on the achenes are.
