What a great picture, I love the colour and the use of DOF. What an added delight that it doesn't have some scary insect anywhere near!

Great colours. What makes you think it's not pollen?

Beautiful colors! A great abstract image, too - out of context, it might have me guessing.

Love the colours on this one, nice composition too - makes me think of a tree in some alien landscape. And I'm pretty certain the yellow stuff is pollen.

Good question, but usually when I see pollen it is more dusty and with smaller particles, even when viewed through a Macro lens. Great colours. What makes you think it's not pollen?
I don't know much about flowers or pollen. Could that be what it is?

I would certainly suggest it is pollen. But ask Daniel B.George Lazarette wrote:

Looks like pollen to me. Comes in all shapes and sizes. Well, perhaps not all sizes...I would certainly suggest it is pollen. But ask Daniel B.

he, he, you guys are right.
The tree had just fantastic blooms today, so I brought one inside so I could get rid of the wind factor... Being able to get a very stable shot, you can even start to see the prickly surface of the pollen.
Not quite 100% crop...

This is a photo of the stamen of a Hibiscus in our front yard.
No idea what the yellow stuff is. Thought it was pollen until I got an up close look.
