 While looking for dew covered webs to photo I noticed the morning sunlight outlining these milkweed pods. I set up low to make the most of the flare and shot only one photo. I particularly liked the lighting but also thought the out of focus background enhanced the mood.

This is a very pretty photo! I'm surprised something like this would score so low. I like the soft glow of the picture.

I really like the rays and warm tones from the light. I agree with routerguy though. If you had it in a crisper focus, the shot would be perfect.

I really like the flare and the overall lighting is superb. had you gotten the milkweed in crisp focus, this shot would really pop.

The sun streaks on your subject are slightly distracting to the overall composition of this photo.
