Description
Botanical Explosion - this is a seed-head of 'Herb Robert', which has just 'exploded', sending its seeds flying for more than a metre - a masterpiece of botanical engineering.

This is a high-magnification photograph of an 'exploded' seed-head of the wildflower 'Herb Robert', taken hand-held in natural light without manipulation.

Photographers would reject this image - all those 'out-of-focus' high-lights that haven't been edited out! As an artist, I've left them in; to me they contribute to the theatricality of the image.
