Excellent framing. Superb photo. Captures the sadness (imho) of what we all will eventually go through. Thanks for sharing.

Terrific shot, David. I find this stage as beautiful as full flowering, in its own way.
Best wishes,
Andrew

Lovely shot, i think the dying flowers have lots to offer a photographer.

Thanks to all my friends on the PU Gallery for the great comments on this pic. I'm not a very good judge of what you will like and I'm always surprised when a picture attracts a lot of comment as this one has.
