The flower in "Simple Beauty" was captured to perfection! I thought the backround was a bit messy, but the drab elegance of the flower is amazing.

Excellent pics, Ben!

Thanks for the compliment, Carmen. I'm pleased with how "Simple Beauty" came out. Unfortunately, I had to tear the poor flower out of the ground to get the picture, so it's a good thing it wasn't Earth Day that day. ;-)

On second thought, if I hadn't taken the picture, that flower would have soon died anyway and its beauty been lost forever. But now, its beauty has been recorded for posterity. (Hmmm... I wonder if I'm getting too philosophical about life?)

I really like this sequence Ben! The pictures and captions flow very well.

Benjamin!!! You ruthlessly plucked a poor innocent flower from it's home to satisfy your selfish desire for art!? I am ashamed to be your brother! If I had only known the blood of a plant was on this picture I would never have aided and abetted this terrible deed by editing the picture!

Come on, Josiah. You aren't turning enviromentalist are you? I agree with Ben's second thoughts: Imagine how privileged this flower was to be noticed and captured in time! Not every flower makes it to this blog. :-)
