Nice POV from the side we don't generally see. I like the crisp details, including the little bumps on the stem. #10233094

That is an interesting side of this flower. No wonder it's known for it's persistant perserverance thrrough the dregs of muck and mire up to the surface and then to blossom. I guess that's why the hindus used it as a meditation symbol. Nice work Chris! #10233196

Thanks so much, folks! I like the "final stage" of the lotus cycle almost as much as the beautiful blooming stage; these seed heads are so strongly graphical and structural.
And thanks, Renee, for the lens loaner! #10234362
