I love these Chinese Lanterns with their delicate paper like petals
and cheery orange colour.
Even as they fade and decay they are still pretty.

I was going to skim through the ones that I haven't commented on yet and come back to them later but I did have to say: "Description, like a haiku, Speaks of cheery orange beauty, Fades and decays, pretty still" Sorry, the temptation was too hard to resist...

Paper thin, but still holds beauty. Nicely seen and shot.. V

You have captured the lace in the petals in excellent detail. The range of color is nice as well. V.

Oh yes they get that "lace" look as they decay.

potent, especially form and colour, yet poignant too...engaging POV brings real presence here..V

I love them too and agree that they are still beautiful in their decay. A gorgeous shot showing their papery texture and warm colour. V
