@Chris Chisu: This entire "Cycle of life" series was shot at the Missouri Botanical Garden ... truly one of the world's great urban gardens. These Sacred Lotus are in the lake in the Japanese Garden. They put on a spectacular display late June to early July every year.

This is truly a fantastic series, Ron. You've done an outstanding job with the composition, lighting and tones. I especially love the delicate feeling you've been able to express in these photos.

It just amazes me that it seems to have its own inner light. Absolutely beautiful!
