I missed this one, meant to comment on it - love that supple texture in the center of the dead flower, surrounded by all that sharp and hard crispy stuff.

Yaaaaaaay! BIG congrats Stag.
More art - you're making a habit of it. Keep it up. :)

Great background blur to bring out this poor soul
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like the partial focus on the sunflower. Also the out of focus flowers in the background, which looks like wondrously coincidental wallpaper.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 12/25/2013 03:32:21 PM
The out of focus area definitely helps this image.
