    I love this shot. I notice someone else already said it was like sparklers. That was my first thought too.

    This is great Karen. The delicacy, the tones, the light all come together to make a fine image.

    My Nikon is in the shop. Parts are back-ordered due to the earthquake in Japan. =(

    I can almost feel the soft breeze that is making the thistle down float away... lovely in B&W.

    Karen girl this is beautiful !
    Some how you can see so much more detail in B&W .. I guess because you are not distracted by colour ?
    I want to do more B&W too .. you have inspired me : )
