 Feeling tired....
Left over valentine rose...played around with natural lighting and light from a flashlight. Like the veins in the petal.

Hello from the Critique Club

An interesting image that meets the challenge well

What a lovely decayed flower head you have chosen to use and the vivid overexposed background really makes it stand out. I'm not sure I would regard the choice of subject as mundane especially with such beautiful hues as it has. So, feeling tired is your intended mood and I can see the relationship as can most of your voters with the general theme being one from melancholy through to death with similar expressions in between so in that respect I would say you achieved your goal, well done. For me the delicacy of the structure comes through strongest so I would probably have said 'fragile'.

Thanks for an interesting entry Drake

Seems to me that the mood here is expressed more by the object itself than anything you've done to set a tone.
