Fading glory

Posted by Helen (Melbourne, Australia) on 6 August 2007 in Plants & 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. :)

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. :)
