past their prime

I found these dried out cone flowers that I had forgotten all about. They still have dignity in their old age. for the nifty fifty challenge. And I really want to crop...

They are holding in there :) fighting until the last petal falls. I know what you mean about the little crops :) I don't mind the negative space hovering above

[PhotoCrazy]

Oh my yes they are. Nice caption, pic!!

@billyboy Billy, thanks for the nice comment and encouragement.

@sugarmuser thanks Sharon. Yeah, I find eally don't mind the negative space. If not doing the sooc I know I would have immediately gone for the crop. I am learning things.

@photographycrazy Thank you!

@samae Thank you so much.

@joysabin Thanks Joy, gives me the idea of describing myself as experienced in stead of just old. (and I've got a birthday coming up)

@elatedpixie Thanks Phyl!

@shutterbug49 Thanks so much.

@koalagardens Thanks for the nice comment KG!

@pistache Thanks Clare. I'll have to look up that hashtag.

@haskar Thanks so much.

@lynnz Thanks for looking and for comment.

just wondering if your camera has different aspect ratios so you could play with different crops in-camera?

[Jean]

@kali66 great suggestion. I will look into that. Thanks.

[Vesna]

Nicely done.

[Caroline]

Lovely! Each flower is so focused. Fav
