[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
How short is a lifespan ? How soon we degrade from blossoming, sprankling youth towards a faible, dried-out, useless mockery of our former selves... ?

Trying out my 55-200mm lens with an achromatic macro lens connected to it, I snapped this miniature scene in my garden. Several stages of the flower's lifespan are depicted : the fresh flower, a later stage with little colour or firmness left, the blackened residue and even the fruit one flower managed to produce.

Hallo Walter,
Ik ben geen grote fan van bloemenfoto's, maar deze hier vormt wel een uitzondering: de veelheid aan kleurnuances, maar vooral de complexe doch subtiele compositie geven het geheel iets aparts. Alsof de levende bloem links nog een laatste boodschap wil meegeven aan haar onfortuinlijke lotgenoten...
Fotografisch zeer mooi uitgewerkt, met een goede lichtmeting en scherptediepte.
TFS & groeten,
Erik

Hi Walter,

Keen observation. The one hanging down on the bottom reminds me of myself. ;-)

Regards,
Randy
