Most people who know me will know that harvest, and therefore fruit and seeds, are uppermost in my mind at the moment. Inspired by the colours of the Banksia I’ve experimented with shots of Milk Thistle, Dandelions, etc in monochrome with red and orange filters. Best view is to click on the photo.

I think your monochrome and filtered choices are the perfect vehicle for this set. They make striking images even stronger.
