Plants, Trees, Shubs, Flowers,

you name it,

 all have different ways of seed dispersal, some have to be eaten, others wind blown, or ejected by the pod when it goes 'pop', and some hitch a ride, and it is these that Photographer Dillon Marsh, took an interest in,

 some varieties of seeds will grow sharp thorns and burs, 

 these sharp points allow the seeds to attach themselves to unsuspecting animals or humans unnoticed, and has earned them the moniker of “hitchhiker plants.”

 during his travels he is accustomed to these seeds hitching a ride on his shoes or clothes during photo excursions through tall grasses of his home in South Africa,

 curious about the details hidden beyond their sharp edges, Marsh began to take macro photographs of these natural objects which reveal the often unnoticed resemblance to faces or skulls,

 and by using a focus stacking program in Photoshop,

 he can produce these super sharp, (if you will excuse the pun), images,

 Marsh is currently adding works to his series Counting the Costs, in which the photographer digitally embeds spheres of melting glaciers amongst city life in India, and soon other parts of the world,

You can view more of his projects on Instagram and Behance, what a fascinating subject to photograph.
