The end ... or is it just the beginning...
Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
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...

Every ending is also a new beginning..! Nice shades of green, and a lovely image.

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) ;-)

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!

i'm not entirely sure what that is (a de-petaled flower?) -- but it's still beautiful!

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.
