Anyway, shot in RAW, cropped, rotated and finally a bit of USM in PS before posting.

Hah...I'm happy with that but with hindsight I should've gone a different way. Thank you all for the comments and I'm sure they'll help me in future challenges.

I didn't want to score less than 5.000 :)

I think this would be better if you could have gotten the dead flower in focus too.

I love the title. The photo is nicely cropped. I'd like to see a stronger decision on the older flower, though - that is, either a sharper focus or more blurred than it is. 5

while it corresponds well with the topic, it is may be too literal and the old one adds no esthetical value to the picture

I think the slight blurring of the wilted flower would have worked better had the background been either extremely blurred or a solid color. Good interpretation and good title.
