¨‘°ºO Dutçh Oº°‘¨ from Neverwhere, United States

Sometimes these are the best photos, when they wilt away. I have one here. I like how in your photo you captured this wild tangle of petals and show the flower from an unconventional perspective. Nicely done. You might like to try it in a sepia too. Sometimes monochrome really enhances the decay factor.
