I’m attempting a milkweed (again. Lol). At the moment, I’m working on that cluster of three pods, and I’m having trouble figuring out how to make that pod in the back go back in space. Do I lighten it more? Or should I darken it more? My fear is that if I make it darker, the peduncles won’t stand out enough. Any advice?

Great question, Pam. My instincts are that you’re better off going lighter/less detailed in the back for this particular subject. But that may mean that you’ll want to darken/saturate/sharpen the pod in front of it a bit more so that they appear on separate planes. This is looking great! I LOVE that pod structure in the bottom right!

@pat take a look at this milkweed!
Fern, thanks for the guidance. That’s what my instincts were telling me too. I’ll give it a try!
I agree with the Vern! Beautiful, Pam.
