Dying orchid

The blooms on the orchids our daughter bought Debs for mothers' day are now fading and falling from the plant.

I was going to throw them away but then thought they could serve as my PAD.
Although not as beautiful as when new and lush, they are still very interesting as they fade away.

The orchid looks as though it is screaming out against it's death. Well done.

Very nice detail and dof.

Spectacular shots, Bill! Morbid and beautiful. Gail's right, the lighting in the second image is gorgeous.

Fantastic details. There is beauty in dying flowers as well.

You're meant to water it! Nice contrast between the live version!

Squeeze every ounce...it's the Padders way :>) Both quite stunning macros, Bill.

Lots of texture and interest in the decaying colours.
