Fading glory
Posted by Helen (Melbourne, Australia) on 6 August 2007 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
It was such a beautiful bloom in its full glory. As is faded away it retained some of that beauty don't you think?
Constructive feedback is your greatest compliment; caring enough to bother saying something ... thanks for visiting!

Definitely beautiful, Helen, even after its glory days. I think the background is quite attractive and really adds to the impact of this wilting beauty. Lovely, lovely, lovely. :)

The pink against the pink is great!! It definitely retained some of it's beauty. Love how you framed this shot, Helen.

Awesome shot Helen and very nice post processing. The induced softness here goes well with your description, and yes it indeed retained a bit of its glory going down. :)

I like this aspect of the life of flowers too... I think that they are beautiful and graceful even as their prime fades away...
