Agapanthus Seedhead

For those of us who know the agapanthus flower, we normally associate it with a

vibrant tall spike of purpley blue flowers, or occassionally white also.  

But today I grace you with the remains of the agapanthus flower head... the last

few seed pods and seeds (black bits) of the season.  

I'm a bit of a sucker for abstract forms in nature, I find the shape, texture

 and colour of seedheads/ seed pods, truly fascinating....  

I also attempted to play around with exposure on this image - above is a

slightly underexposed version, whilst below is the slightly over exposed

version - which to you prefer?
