Dramatic against that dark background is definitely the word! Didn't think something so wilted could look so beautiful! :-)

great timely shot!
you must have been very patient to wait for the petal to fall or did you help it to fall? :)

@Kairospix: I'm not sure if you are serious or not. Anyhow, I don't have that much patience. The falling petal was done in Photoshop. Thanks for your comment Kairospix.

Beautiful image that is enhanced by the falling petal. Well done.

I am speechless. Beautiful. You are going from strength to strength. I find myself thinking along the same line as Kairospix's comments.

Beautiful shot and excellent photoshop work! I would never have thought that the falling petal was put in later.

Nice one! Would be better if you added more tone to it and gave it a higher contrast. Just my opinion
