Graceful aging together

Gary, the highlights don't stand out to bad to me, looks like you handled the harsh light very well. Interesting plants, I havn't seen these before. I like the framing at the top of the photo with the curved leaf. Well captured.

Like John, I've never seen this before....very interesting. I'ld try and tone down the upper left edge of the pod on the left, otherwise looks great.

The highlights look fine to me Gary. I love your composition and the plants themselves are very interesting to me. Very fine work for my tastes.

Gary, 'interesting' is the word of the day....this is unusual to my eye. Good job composing and framing. You've handled the hot lighting well. Yeah, just a bit burned in ulc...but not bad. Ken S

Gary, I like how the leaf curves around the left pod. Nice to see someone recognize the beauty in a past prime subject. Your vision is nicely captured with the one pod just leaning on the other. I like the diagonal omposition.

Wow, Gary !!! Very nice high kee shot. I like it very much.

It looks great to me, and something I never seen before, really like the colors, along with the comp. Very nice indeed.

Nicely seen and presented, Gary.

What interesting plants. Could be moon craters or some undersea monster pods. Good work on the colors and tonality, Gary.

Gary: Fascinating subject and a superb comp. 2 thumbs up! >=))>

Great framing using the wavy pad at the top. Amazing front to back sharpness for the aging pods . Nice ! Gary.

Unique subject and concept superbly rendered... the light doesn't bother much at all

My kind of photo. I love unusual shapes, that people see everyday and ignore.

as already noted, love the curved leaf at the top. But, what I like most is the range and depth ot colors plus the gorgeous textures. You can really see how much "plumper" the newer, green pod is and how brittle, but still sturdy the old one is.

Great job!

A finely crafted composition Gary. I like how the "clam shell" pad above frames the beautiful colors of the lotus pods. This image is loaded with pleasing visual elements.

This is such a nice image that I would spend a bit more time warming up the hot spot. Wonderful image.

This is great, it almost has a 3D look to it, especially the pod on the right.

Very interesting image. Well seen and captured Gary.

Hi Gary Amazing detail on those fascinating geometric lines!! The light and color are marvelous

Marvellous subject beautifully captured, Gary - so sharp and superbly lit. The colours just amaze me !!

An extremely interesting shot. These are very exotic to most of us here. Excellent work!

Your comp on this is exceptional....beautiful capture Gary
