Very nice, Steve. It the relatively strong contrast in the faded blooms really brings out the feeling of decrepitude.

This is beautiful - I love the contrasty light, the colours, and the curve of the stem. Pure elegance!

Unusual but very effective. Nice perspective, colours, and BG
Well-done!

Steve: We almost always shoot pristine prime flowers so seeing such beauty in less than prime condition is really nice and very well done. :+1: :+1:>=))>

Thanks @Dennis_Plank - @SandyR-B - @Bill_Fach and @Tom_Nevesely
Maybe it is because I am old that I see the beauty in flowers on the way out. I have posted some before at NPN
