 A fallen petal made for a nice shot opportunity. I was having trouble controlling DOF and found moving up to 800 ISO (from 200) allowed faster shutter speeds which seemed to help a bit, even at the risk of noise...

Editing was kept simple, adjustments to contrast, curves and a tiny bit of sharpening.

A very sad photo (that's not a bad thing).

I think the light on the petal is a bit harsh which robbed it of needed detail.
