Un ambiente particular...me gusta la luz y como has enfocado esas margaritas en fin de vida...

@Francesc B.: Gracias, Francesc. Se utilizo un SB600 speedflash con dos lentes "closeup" para lograr el efecto. El flash para tales cosas me ha ampliado las posibilidades.
I love this.

@Margie: Margie, thanks for taking the time to visit. I am very pleased that you liked this image.
Bonita imagen, la profundidad de campo le hace un buen favor a la foto, me gusta el tono de la foto. Parecen huevos fritos.

@kaneli: Gracias por la visita, Kaneli. De hecho, pensandolo bien estas si parecen un par de huevos. Yo los prefieros --los huevos-- sin petalos. Saludos!
I love how these coneflowers take on this 'death on a stick' look and your processing here has made the most of that! Nice one.

@Ronnie 2¢: Thanks for your comment, Ronnie. Indeed, it is that notion of impending death that I wanted to convey. Flowers for me are a continuous reminder of the beauty of life, but also of how ephemeral and fragile it all really is.
Very nice shot! I got very inspired by your "Fading Glory". And it is nice to see another image with similar objects though a very different contest.

@Nataly: Nataly, happy to know how this image has impacted you. I am simply learning to see. I beginning to learn how to be calm when I go out and shoot and focus on a specific goal I would like to achieve. This is not easy for me as my mind is constantly wondering.
I like it because your picture is not like all the other flowers pictures.

@thib: Thib, thanks for the complement. Funny how we take such little things for granted. You just have to stop, listen, and see.
triste fin !

@rem_la: De hecho, triste para la flor, pero afortunado para la semilla que nace y eventualmente florece para hacer a otro como tu y yo felize y darnos lecciones profundas sobre la vida. Gracias por la visita. Saludos!
Amazing sad photo! Really like the light

When I saw this at VFXY and clicked on it to leave a note to say how much I liked it you can imagine how delighted I was to see that you are a fellow AM3er!
It's a great photo and a lot more powerful than one of a pristine flower would have been.

@Ian Bramham: Ian, thanks!! Hope you had the chance to vote for me while you were there as well. I really like this forum for photos and the flexibility there is to exhibit one's photos here. I hope to contribute financially to this site soon as it is the best I've seen so far, especially for the poor photographer like myself unable to afford a website of my own.
I'm very pleased you have taken the time to visit my site. I too enjoy your work very much.
The flower may not be at its best, but your photo captures it very well. Nice job.

Amazing capture ... very good treatment!
