Four o'clock flower seed

Post by Joaquim F. »

Short studio stack of about 5 frames @2.5X
Nikon DSLR + Sigma 24mm f/2.8 manual lens reversed with the classic BR-2A ring.
A flickr contact has made me notice the resemblance to the elytra of some beetles. I do not know if this resemblance is included in some kind of camouflage or just the opposite, causing the seed to be eaten by birds :-k

Best

Nice shot. Yes, it does look a bit like a beetle's wing case. Or a grenade :)
