Lifeless

Very, very beautiful!

Beautiful image and treatment

Well, the first thing I thought of was strength – nothing lifeless in this for me. Alive and vital .) Beautiful image

oh wow

I know it happens but that’s so sad

and so so so well done!

wow that really hit home for some reason

Thank you so much, kitsmumma, Suncatcher, Helene and Robert!!!
Glad you all think it is still beautiful, even in this stage of its life!! :D

Thank you RoughDiamond for you comments!!
It’s sad that a beautiful rose can look like this, but beautiful in a different way!!

Oh wow, this is good!

I love it! Very interesting.

somehow this beautiful image is very moving and sad…..
aging is relentless no matter how beautifully we bloom…..
stunning work Heather….

The beauty of the death… Georgeus shot.

Thank you very much for all your lovely words, Luminuex, Ashlee, Wendy and ArmandK!! :D

So sad and yet so beautiful.

AWESOME Image!

I love the treatment in this Heather.. it has wonderful qulaities. There is real clarity in the detail of the plant which is set off against the grainy background. Excellent work as always!

this is great in b&w…. well done

Lovely composition and contrast- beautiful.

Beautiful work KD, works so well in B/W. It almost looks alien.

I like the processing on this – gives it an old “Photogravure’ feel. And there IS beauty in something that has reached the end of its life – especially if it has brought happiness to someone like this flower most likely did.

Thank you very much Gisele, Yvonne, Paul, Cozmist, Purelydecorative, Marcus and Heather for all your lovely comments!! :D

Wow… this is spectacular. The more I look at it the more I fall in love with it. Love the tone.. really I am just….( speechless) .. wow.
