I quite like this, Martin. Took me a while to figure it out, but very effective color and light and well captured. Helen

Thanks folks for the comments. John, I'm very pleased that you like this, I know it's not nature in its full glory but this dead sunflower drowning in a bowl of water really intrigued me for the variety of colors in the scene. At full size, the textures are unreal. Frank: ahhh, did you catch me uploading the vertical shot? Yes, I rotated it in photoshop and reuploaded it, thinking it complemets the 'summer ruin' shot a little better this way. I'm still unsure as to which orientation looks better but since the challenge is almost up I'll leave it as-is and see what happens. Thanks for the thought, I'm pretty sure that I'll keep my archived version in its original orientation (vertical). Cheers! :)

I'm so happy to have a chance to see your work, Martin. This is just wonderful, your own take on floral themes. This is beautiful, tragic, poetic and delightful. jrdu

Wow, this is fantastic! Did you change the rotation after uploading? I would prefer a portait here. Great color and comp.
