Up close and personal... with a lotus

in #monomad5 years ago (edited)

Lotus ~ the flower... not the car... 😄
Sorry, guys...

Got me several close-ups here... Unusual (to me) angles of a lotus flower...

Looking down into a just-opened bud
FYI, the bud is about the size of a dinner plate!
I thought the inner 'workings' looked quite cool...

This flower is almost a full bloom
But... half the flower was gone... as in torn away or somehow ripped off!
Made for a cool cross-section shot though

Thank you, @tussar11... I had it in colour before - different shots, so I thought I would do a b&w!

I Love the Lotus flower! I want a tattoo of one, but not sure. B&W tat of one would be cool. Awesome macro!

Ooohhh... a b&w lotus would be cool... full front-on or a side view/profile one? Have you an idea of the image already? I'm still half decided if a tattoo is cool or not... lol... Maybe on others...

Lol. Do it! Get one. Hehe. This coming from a guy who has been married for 18 years. My wife and I decided as a wedding gift to each other (in 2001) we would give each other tattoos. She has gotten hers, which I designed, but I have not gotten one yet. I guess I’m a sissy. I don’t know what’s holding me back other than I can’t make a decision. I think something like that needs to be meaningful in order to be placed on your body. I originally wanted to do something including my American Indian heritage, but there’s so much To choose from. I think a lotus flower from the side would be cool. Maybe a Mandela type design of a lotus flower. I have to work on it…
