Roses from my sweetie a long time ago. They sit on top of an armoire in the bedroom by this lovely lighted window. I am afraid to move them for fear they will fall apart. Image does not show all the dust, lol. I love using textures and I used a delicate one here at 50% opacity.

Thanks for the nice comments.

Captures the retro mood very well. Tell your sweetheart to buy you another dozen to celebrate your ribbon.

Voted earlier coming back to comment.

Spectacular work with this still life! Love the faded warm hues which nourishes the mood that these faded & dried roses are a sentimental keepsake. The texture overlay adds to the warmth of the photo but also gives a sense of touch especially with the dried roses. We can 'feel' the age of the dried petals.
