Perhaps the beginning of the end. A very intriguing photo, Ron. I love that soft green.

Ron - this whole series is a joy. Beautifully seen and presented. High quality in every image. This would make a lovely publication. Longest note card or shortest book. Have you left us at the beginning, or...

Really an impressive series. This last picture isn't depressing at all and contains a beauty of its own kind.

Loved this series, Ron. Brilliantly done. And really there is no end, as the seeds will continue the cycle... love that symbolism (if this makes any sense) ;-)

Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia

Absolutely beautiful, Ron. Love the colours, composition and atmosphere. Is this meant to to be soft, though, or is it the uploading process that's done that? Whatever the answer, it's a great image!

A fabulous series, as everyone has said. I think we all benefited from your ability to 'see' that first un-opened lotus as a life-cycle series to be presented digitally. I'd love to see it as a slideshow.
