As I stepped out my front door this morning on my way to work, I spotted these under the Camellia tree.
This is as they were, nothing staged, just a recent flower fallen in the bark chips next to one in a state of decomposition.
Just basic Post-Processing, no layers.

Guess it never had much "wow" factor. No staged setups, just taking notice of what nature presented to me that morning in the bark chips under the tree.
Coming back to leave a comment - I like how the old rose still has touches of youth and the "new" rose is starting to show its age! The colors are also very nice throughout.
I like the contrast between the two flowers, although an increase in brightness (at least in the new flower) would have made this picture stand out more.
