A strong beam of afternoon light and a single seed pod with a clear emphasis on the subject. It’s a simple composition, using a shallow depth of field to bring sharp focus to the seed pod against the blurred background.
The lighting is backlit, highlighting the translucence of the seed pod's wings. The interplay of light and structure accentuates the delicate textures and creates contrast with the shadows.
The deep blues of the sky give a cool backdrop that makes the warm golden tones of the lit seed pod stand out. It's a classic complementary color scheme that's always visually pleasing.
