I agree with Dab20 I did a similar shot with a milkweed for a college photo essay back in 1978. My instructor told me the same thing, done to death, so I went back and rethought it. Set my camera, a Fujica ST801, on a tripod and used a bulb lens blower to get some action on the winged seedings. It came out really nice and I got kicked up a few grades on the essay.
