Susans

We are returning now to the snow covered trees,
and the darkness which surrounds us quickly this
time of year.
Our stiff hands shudder at the expanse of cold as
we dream of living forever, like the dust.

So sad but so striking. Great focus and choice of duotone.

I really like this. Not quite sure why. Dead flowers don't seem like a very exciting subject, but this appeals to me. I think it's cause of how well it goes with the background and the toning of the image as well. Definately seven of your subject, and I really can't find anything I dislike or would like to see differently. Placement of the subject within the photo is good, and lighting and focus and clarity are great, I see no reason not to give this a 10. great shot. ~Heather~

They do dry nicely. The background is a very nice complimentary texture. I feel like I am missing something without the color.

Awesome,10

wow -- this is really a nice shot - excellent tones, nice background. This would be top 10 if I had my way.

Really like the looks of flowers nad grey toning but prefered more natural compozition.

This would be a cool idea for a calendar; I like the simple elegance of it. Nice textures and composition. What do these look like in color? How about desaturated 50%? Maybe with a little color there would be a whisper of their past life. REally nice shot.

Very nice texture brought out by B&W treatment and relatively high contrast. Composition is nice. The flow and texture remind me of Van Gogh. And the background contributes to this feeling.

this is charming just something ot quite right for me with the colour of light? well done though

A beautiful image and interesting and original subject. I perhaps would have liked to have seen a little space to the right of the image, somehow it feels a little too central for my own tastes. Nice tones and good use of light. One of my faves for this challenge out of a small prefered handful. Good luck!

Beautiful photo.
