Good idea, great background (except it provides little contrast against the seedlings). I think you needed a bit higher shutter speed though, or else resolution or a focus issue is making this too soft.

Just lovely! Wonderful capture of just two seeds blowing out of the plant! Says volumes! Pretty contrast against blue sky. Very, very well done - and so clear!

hm i think this is good composition. It seems a bit noisy/pixellated though, which makes me wonder if you cropped a small portion of a much larger photo, which is fine, but it just loses clarity. Im sure this might be a hard shot to capture but getting closer might really do wonders for it. I'm a fan of negative space when well used, so despite the quality i'll give it a 7

Maybe the focus is the only thin that is not perfect :)

Great timing to capture the point they fly away!

Seems a little out of focus, but I like the idea.

bit too out of focus for me

very interesting concept - too bad that the seeds somewhat blend in with the white cloud background. there also seems to be some loss of sharpness - almost looks as if you've blown the photo up from its initial size.

Tough shot. Great timing. I wish the crop were tighter such that the seeds that had just come off were maybe 2/3 of the way to the right of the frame instead of slightly left of center.

Doesn't quite seem focused, nice composition though...
