  Yes, this is a way cool shot. It is clear, crisp and unusual. So...what am I seeing; I assume milkweed exploding but how did you do that?

  Thanks, guys and gals. Well, it only looks like it's exploding. Actually, the seeds were simply hanging out. I held one flash behind and below the bod. The other flash was conneced to the front of my lense. Here're the details:
  
  This was captured with a Nikon D300 w/105mm VR, two off camera flashes (one behind and under the bod, the other off to the left front, connected to the front of the lens), f38, 1/60 sec, ISO 400, and handheld.

  More Photography . . . Less Photoshop [. . . except when I do it]

  I posted this in the macro forum, but IMHO I think it also qualifies as a "cool shot."
  

  
  First impressions......
  Someone popped the cork from a bottle of champagne
  It's quite explosive looking.... a sea of fibre optics.
  
  Great shot Jeff .... Skippy

  How did you think to do this? Were you just sitting around and thought...think I'll make these milkweeds look like they are exploding? What was your isnpiration?
