Faded tulips

I absolutely love tulips - photographing them when they're ready for the compost heap.

Tulips always fade into the most interesting shapes - a little sculpture on every stem.

The high key treatment showcases these fading blooms nicely. I also photographed a dying plant today, but I went the other way...

[Domenico Dodaro]

I agree completely. When faded they are the perfect subject for photography!

Hello! Haven't seen you in a while. This is lovely. I thought they were nerine initially, but having read your comment realise they are tulips during their last hours. Nice.
