Things I realized:
1. I need to try focus stacking
2. The cleaner the mirror, the better the image
3. Seeds look pretty cool

👍 Plant seeds can be very weird. Like alien pods.
That always happens with mirrors and glass. Easily fixed in post by selecting out a large area and using the bucket tool to fill the area with black. Then a cloning brush or paint brush to touch up the rest.

If you haven't tried it and you have a smoked glass top on, say your washing machine, just clean both sides, light, and you have a free short cut.

Yes, fascinating shapes on seeds, we don't see many of them.
