  I am amazed that something I would consider 'past its prime' and not worthy of a photo - you've gone ahead and managed to make a masterpiece of its fading beauty.
Brilliant Dan - well done!

  Dan

The soft pink color against the black background makes this standout.

You took something in the last stages of life and made it interesting and beautiful.

You title if perfect.

  Wonderfully captured image. Only you could provide the image and wording that would provoke such an emotional response from a rose that was 'past its sell by date!" Fantastic!

  Once again, you show how even fading beauty has value, Dan ~ if we look at the colors of this set against the dramatic black, they are so beautiful, and the curves still graceful...Really well done.
