These are Milkweed seeds escaping from their pod. There were lots of them when my husband and I were on our walk along a road near our house. They were blowing all over but I couldn't catch a photo of one in the air. Of all the photos I took I like this one the best.
At first I called this "Escaping the Pod" - decided to change the title to "Go Forth and Multiply".
I thought of some less literal ideas for "seed" but couldn't figure out a way to set them up so hope this one will end up in the 5's anyway!
Editing: Crop, adjustment layers for levels and curves, flatten image, select background - noise removal from background only; resize, smart sharpen, sharpen tool on some of the little seed heads and white stuff; blur tool on outside edges of background; save for web.
