Macro Close-up of Puffball Seeds on Dried Asteraceae Plant

Description

This macro photograph focuses on a dried Asteraceae plant, whose top seed cluster takes on a fluffy puffball shape—like a white fluff ball air-dried by time, mixed with withered brown calyx fragments and clinging to a slender dry stem. The background is blurred with a large depth of field, showing a faint green-yellow gradient like a hazy natural curtain, which sets off the clear texture of the main subject. The dried seed pappus is soft and fine, with a faint white glow under soft light; the brown withered parts fully reveal the traces of time. The overall atmosphere is quiet and vicissitudinous, showcasing the beauty of the fading of natural life in autumn and winter. The macro perspective magnifies the plant's details, allowing viewers to feel the delicate textures of the life cycle up close.
