The Dying Flowers

Taffy and I went to the Chicago Botanic Gardens today to photograph "dying flowers" in the cold. We took our tripods and set them out -- but we hadn't factored in the wind! And yes, there was wind. Lots of wind. What a challenge.

I'm the first to comment! I like how you've taken this poor almost-gone flower and made it a star attraction. It looks great against black. The lighting is perfect.

Just beautiful!

[Jane Pittenger]

Lovely light and color

[Pam Knowler]

Lovely capture showing the end of summer.

[Joan Robillard]

Boy I can't imagine wind in Chicago.

[Marnie]

Don't you just hate it when wind ruins a shot you've spent ages setting up?

This is really a great shot. I love all the detail and color from this dying plant. FAV
