Future New Life Bursts Forth

A milk weed pod about to drop all its seeds.

#1 is my first edit
then I thought "What if I flipped it and cropped a bit tighter." so the result was
#2 my second edit - I think I like this one.

Partly psychological. In English we read from left to right so that "feels" like the direction to the future.

7DII, Canon 100-400L mk2 @ 400, 1/1000 @ f/7.1, ISO-2000
hand held at about 3' in late afternoon shade with a bit of backlight from the crack between two boards in the fence outlining some of the seeds.

I too prefer the second one. I wonder how much culture has to do with this preference, is it because we read left to right? Would someone in Japan prefer the first?

Nice, and I agree with the choice of the second one. Perhaps it has something to do with our left to right culture.

Vote noted.

I know of written languages that read left>right, right>left and top>bottom. Can't think of any that read bottom>top.

I suspect the direction of reading influences preferences for how things look for most people.

Thanks. A professor I knew said studies had shown that in cultures that write/read left to right images of moving subjects going to the right are generally seen by a majority of people as going forward or coming and subjects moving to the left as going backward or leaving.
