Dying Lillies (+Pip)

Yesterday afternoon found me out hunting for dying flowers to take photos of. I found these in a neighbour's garden and she kindly allowed me to pick them (although I suspect she thought I might be a bit crazy)!

I wanted to enhance the look of decay and so I used a dark green piece of of card as a background and added a grungy texture.

There is another image in the PiP if you have time to look.

I wish you all a good week ahead........thanks for looking!

Keith Burton replied to Günter Klaus:

Ha, ha, I think my neighbours must be used to me and my camera by now :-))). At least, no one has called for the men in white coats to come and take me away (yet). :-)))

Glad you like the flowers and the background Güni..........and thanks for your kind comments.

Take care..........best wishes, Keith.

Quelle magnifique composition.Chaque note est parfaite. (Ce qui discrédite fortement ce que tu pense que pense ta voisine....et tant pis si elle le pense mais sincèrement je ne le crois pas).keith, maintenant que tu as pris la photo pourrais tu mettre un peu d'eau dans ce récipient.? je pense que cette fleur au rose si subtil a envie de vivre encore un peu.

Keith Burton replied to Jean Paul Capdeville:

Thanks for dropping by and leaving these comments Jean-Paul. It's very kind of you. I'm afraid that once the photos were taken the dying flowers went in the compost bin.........in that way they'll eventually contribute to my garden.

As I've just said to Güni (above) I think my neighbours must be used to me and my camera by now :-))). At least, no one has called for the men in white coats to come and take me away (yet).
