Motivated and inspired by Steven Kahn's captures of a bloom's life cycle here is my humble rendition.

The lensbaby gives this an extraordinarily surreal effect. Love it!

Bob: I'm kind of ambivalent regarding lensbabies but this one really works great. Superbly crafted shot. >=))>

I am not usually a big fan of 'spent bloom' shots, but the effect of the lensbaby helps this one to work for me Bob. I like it.

Beautifully done Bob. I particularly like your dof and plane of focus decisions.

Nice use of the lensbaby. I like that it is sharp where it needs to be. The bottom petals kind of look like flames.

Awesome, Bob. Reminds me of a burning candle with molten wax coming down
