Fibre-Optic?
by davidstorm
Close-up of a Dandelion seed-head taken with a Sigma 50mm f2.8 Macro, with a Teleplus 7 Element Teleconverter. Converted to BW, then a radial gradient fill applied with a black to transparent colour. Contrast and brightness then adjusted. The idea being to make the centre of the seeds turn into fibre-optic lights.

Many thanks for your kind comments. I don't often use a lot of processing but I like to experiment now and again.
