Hey,

I took these over the last three days. I used the RAW format for the captures and post processed the images in Lightroom.

Enjoy & take care,

Interesting subject! Impermanence, decay, mortality, life – makes me thoughtful.

Poor flower, why did you let it to decay!!! You should dry the petals while fresh and then make a relaxing bath or foot soak for your partner or yourself 🙂

Jimi, this really excellent, a really excellent series of images, and really quite profound too – this is right up there with your best stuff! I’m going to reblog it. Adrian

Reblogged this on FATman Photos and commented:
I’m a fan of Jimi’s photography generally – but I’m especially struck by this series of shots of a decaying rose. The photographs ares beautiful of course, but I also find this series very still, profound and quiet – something to look at in a quiet time, something to stimulate thought. FATman

Beautiful pictures, but kinda sad really. 😦
On the other hand though, if the flowers didn’t die they wouldn’t make the seeds, or the space for the new life to carry on after they’ve gone. 🙂
Thanks for sharing.
