Starburst II

Here is another part of the lifecycle of the Mexican Sunflower like I posted yesterday. While the pristine blossoms have more beauty, I tend to think the old, wilted flowers have more character. But maybe that's just because I'm growing old :-)

I see pictures like this and remind me that I have to do some florals in B&W. This is so cool and well done. ~BV~

Definitely has those aged character lines! Excellent shot in monochrome. V

There is a lot of character here and it works so nicely in black and white.

Seeing these details in this state of age is very powerful!
Great beauty from an "experienced" photographer!

Nice Monochrome feel with detail and bokeh getting along nicely.
Title fits nicely.

Such a nicely highlighted capture of this fading beauty. I think anybody could find character in this wilting flower regardless of age.
