Past Their Best - Even For Photography!

Wabi Sabi to the extreme!

[John Falconer]

They look ok for images to me. Great capture.

[Christine Sztukowski]

Very sophisticated

I would disagree! You have caught them in a beautiful state of disrepair. A remarkable job of composing. I like the background and fossicked jar FAV

[Joan Robillard]

Nice capture

I have seen some phenomenal photos of dead or dying flowers. I think you have achieved this here.

Beautiful they are!

[Annie-Sue]

Everything's fine - plenty of potential in these pale darlings yet!

[Larry L]

I like this very much

[Kathy]

But their colors show up so well, so still photographic.

[Delwyn Barnett]

Even dead flowers make great photography subjects. This is lovely.
