The End of Spring
by Helen Betts

Okinawa, Japan

I had this plant in some water and pulled it out to take a picture, and all the blossoms fell off. I decided they were prettier than what was left on the plant.

Beautiful Helen and what a great response to the fallen petals... not upset just, "hmmm this looks even better." The sign of a true artist. :) Ann C

Helen, great concept for this composition. Each pedal has such sharp focus. I like the simpicity of 3 colors. A very unique image. Well done. --- El-See

Very nice treatment of bleeding heart Helen! I have them here at home, but would never have thought of presenting them this way. Very dramatic! Lisafx

Very nice image, Helen. For some reason (perhaps suggested by your story or the pale petals on a black surface) it reminds me of a corpse. Well done. JoeSchmoe.
