Tulip Death Throes

This is the tulip that featured in my post for 13 January - I think I like it more now than in its prime!

BoB if you can...

I try taking photos of dead or half dead flowers and they just never look anything like this! super shot :)

[Shanne]

I like dead tulips - so much more interesting

[Shari]

Wonderful close-up. The flower pops against the background.

[Jennifer Potter]

Even more beautiful all wilted up! Gorgeous all of the way around, the composition, the colors, the bokeh.

[Joan Robillard]

You give their death dignity

Love the texture in the withered petals, tulips are such a good subject from start to finish.

[Kathy]

Lots of textures

[Jane Pittenger]

Maybe we look better in our weathered years as well?

[Marnie]

Oh dear, it does look rather weary, I know just how it feels! Love this 'different' shot.

[Jean]

Love this shot! Old flowers make lovely graceful images.

[gloria jones]

Wonderful clarity, textures

Tulips grow so beautiful. A wonderful capture.

@jgpittenger I tell myself that every day 😄

[Clare Gadsby]

mmm i always enjoy them as they start to get scrunchy and crinkly. nicely done

[Margo Sayer]

This is one long lived tulip, displaying all its working parts with grace and dignity. Superb shot! Merits more favs than I am entitled to bestow.

[Henri Russell]

Beautiful till it's dying day.

[Issi Bannerman]

Delightful faded tulip.

[Jacqueline]

You make it still looking beautiful, when I try it they look just dead.
Have you thought about my question Richard?

[Richard Sayer]

@jacqbb Yes and it's yes... but we need to work out the details - I will mail you this weekend.
