Fabulous shot. The composition, light, texture and color all work together.

I really like the tired look of wilt that you've captured here. Reminds me of old age and the loss of energy everything experiences through the aging process -- but look, inside that same wilted sunflower are the seeds of the next generation. This is a very hopeful shot.

Geeze, Craiger, that is awesome! studio shot or in the field? The reason I ask is that the light is so cool. Well done.

I love shots of tired old things (I should do a self-portrait). Gorgeous tones and texture.

bravo! at the risk of repeating everyone's comment - this is a very well composed, taken picture - the lighting is just right, the DOF is awesome, the tones are warm and the texture crisp!

Extraordinarily exquisite, and moving. You have an amazing eye, Craiger!

Nice stuff going on here, C. The aging floral contingent gets rare air time these days but I think there's a lot (of positive stuff) to be said about the older girls. In fact, with a background as creole as this, its features are exaggerated to the point of her appearing like a voluptuous old tart with plenty of flexibility amidst the droop. Nice show, old chap. :)
