<center>**Dry seedpods and decay. Two of my favorite subjects to work with, specially in black and white.**</center>

<center>**The one bellow is a Hibiscus seedpod.
Frankly I don't remember where it was shot. They are so common around here that it is easy to get confused with these fellas.**</center>

<center>**As always I tried to get the darkest background possible, to enhance the contrast between my little "model" and its surroundings.**</center>

<center>**I also used a pinhole filter in post production, already after the black and white conversion.**</center>

<center>**I don't have the slightest idea about what the next one is.
A mysterious wild flower already decaying.**</center>

<center>**Apparently it was tied up with a web, by some naughty spider that thought it would be a great place to set her trap on.**</center>

<center>**Once again I tried to get the darkest background possible, but this time there was too much light shinning on the grass and branches behind it, which created a lot more distractions than in the previous image.**</center>
