withering beauty

I picked this Iceberg Rose to photograph from my garden, then got busy. Found it this morning all withered but thought it was still pretty. Here is the result.
Thanks to everyone for comments and views, hope you are all having a great weekend!

I love how beauty can still be found in something withered and wilted. Might be some hope for all of us as we get older :) Great photo.

I don't know that there's really any time a rose is anything but pretty. Even a dried one has gorgeous qualities. Neat that you saw the beauty in this wilted bloom. I like the reflective surface you photographed it on.

Thanks so much for the comment and fav shared on my FanFare dandelion photo. Very much appreciated.
