You've got the basic principle down -- making the picture speak
its own language, to "talk" on its own accord. Though this has
nothing to do with Honda. But I digress.
Good work.

I like to think of this as viewing life from the perspective that
I
have now - late parenthood. So I take the viewpoint of the
dandelion
seed cluster. Looking back to see the flower (my youth) and the
bud
(my childhood) and forward to the remains of the seed pod (late
stages
of life). I hope you see the symbolism.
On a technical note - plants don't grow in ways to make the shot
easy.
I used 3 different lenses and many angles to get what I could
envision. I really had to finally decide upon the DOF of the
subjects
vs the background blur. So I chose the perspective I did with
emphasis on the seed pod and allowing the focus to soften on the
early
years (as is my memory).
