A Photographic Quote of Note:
No one will ever know what I went through to secure those negatives. The world can never appreciate it. It changed the whole course of my life.

such a sad image. Where did summer go?
WOW! What a stunning portrayal of summer’s end.
The lighting is fantastic in this macro. Superb photo Michael.
Interesting choice to focus on the end of a flower’s life…and yet you made it very beautiful. Well done.
Love the deep rich colors. Nice!!!
Summer’s end is right and the flowers will be gone but Are You Ready For Some Football!!
nice title. can’t believe summer’s almost over… sigh…
you’ve captured the end cycle of a flower pretty well. nice.
It even looks like day’s end with the shadows. There is beauty, even in death.
such a sad image.. at the same time reminds you of nature’s cycle.
Aptly named
Nice focus!
