Thanks, Steve.

Yes, it is what it is.
Still beautiful though, inasmuch as if you had to dress an object so that you could ensure its dispersal by any passing creature, chances are it would finish up like this.
Just look at all the hooks & barbs plastered all over this thing's surface!

Thanks for looking,

Roger.

A seed thereof, about 3 x 1.5mm.

For macros, I use two sheets of card covered in black paper & hinged together with tape, With the hinge vertical & the sheets open to 45 degrees (ish),-I shoot in towards the r. hand side so the any reflection in that sheet is of the other sheet. If any light gets in over the top, I place a further black sheet on the top of the hinged pair. With the pair placed pointing towards the main (day)light, this works pretty well, with just a little adjustment in Elements 11, levels.

Thanks chaps.

I've spotted another one, just coming up through the grass nearby.
I'll keep an eye on it & report back as it developes.....
