| We had a hailstorm last night, so if I was out in this heat/humidity/poor air quality shooting flowers, they would look even more desperate than these...I'm pulling shots from the archives that I just never had time for. Maybe if it's too hot to shoot, you would enjoy doing the same? I like the weatherbeaten flowers, also the ones gone to seed, or blackened by frost--they have character. |

| the fight for survival displayed in a quiet image - the processing works perfectly to show their battle for life |

| Very nice capture, Kelli. Something about flowers just past their prime that I think makes them much more interesting. |

| Nice subject - who said flower images need to be only of perfect, gorgeous flowers? I think this subject would work well with a slight desat treatment and I sure wish the 2 stems were not aligned... It would give more depth to the whole composition. If it's convenient, I'd go back to "explore" the subject further... |

| Sometimes decay can be just as beautiful as fresh young blossoms. Its like an elderly persons wrinkles, each line tells a story. |

Even the ugly ducklings deserve to be photographed sometimes.
This works well for a wilty flower shot.
Nice job of a difficult subject.

The double flowers work well in this one.
Great detail where it counts and super composition.

The detail in the top flower is really strong, and I feel the background, along with the DOF, completes this image.....
Thanks you for sharing this floral image with us.
Our journey has just begun.
