Oppose Awesome quality and technically sound, but the composition does my head in. I looked at it for minutes and still couldn't figure out what I was looking at, where the stem was, which way was up, etc. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 07:42, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I believe you could not figure this out because it is one strange looking plant. What other composition I could have done to take a close up shot of the seeds?--Mbz1 (talk) 10:52, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
