I agree about the staging! It's the smart thing to do with an image like this. A classic photo, well done.

Great capture, Moti! Staging is a GOOD thing, especially if the result is as beautiful as this image.---deb

Thanks for the kind words.
I must admit that this was a bit of staging. My son was holding the flower and when I was ready with the settings and the composition, he gave it a blow. All I had to do is to press the shutter at the right moment.

Excellent composition. Now tell me, did you drop those three seed into the frame as the shutter dropped? ;) Well done!

Moti, it's great how you captured this trio of seeds flying away from the flower head...others have preceded their departure...and others will soon follow. Well composed and beautiful bokeh to isolate your subject...I can feel the breeze causing the motion blur. Great capture! MFC
