The flora isn't blooming here, yet, so this is last year's. :)

 Trying to make an old dead weed look pretty was a difficult challenge this week. Unfortunately, nothing's quite in bloom yet.

Cool. Interesting take on the challenge. I love the colours in this one, and the curve of the stem. Good lighting too.

Funny title! But it was a good idea, my hat off to you. Plus it turned out very well!

The title is a bit clunky, very unlike this interesting post blossom, which is engaging and, in its own way, beautiful. The light here is magnificent, gently showing us nature's decline. An even closer point of view would enhance the interest even further, I feel.

I like this photo quite a bit... the color (or lack of) works very well and the composition and shallow depth of field work well. i think your title is hurting the image in the fact that it seems to be making an excuse for something that you didn't like... - setzler

If this is last years how does it met the challenge exposure time?

Fun title. You know this works......crop it real tight on the flower head. Makes a neat shot.

Nice placement and muted colors. Not a very interesting picture though. If you could have zoomed in on the dried flower with a really good focus on the petals the natural pattern of the flower would have added interest.

This use of a close color range really brings the subject to the forefront and creates a nice "bed" as a backdrop. I like what you've done here a lot. Great clarity and lighting.

Nicely composed shot. I can't say much for your title though. 7

Actually, a parent of this years! You got a chuckle out of me. Very clever.
