I'm not quite sure what that is in the background (candle? vase?) but it's awfully distracting. The concept is good and the colors of the flower are quite pretty. Perhaps more flower?
Nice shot, but I think it would have been better without that pole-ish thing in the background! lol just an idea, because it would keep the focus on the wonderful details in that flower's texture! But what a good idea for the Too Late challenge. I didn't dream of exemplifying death, but this is a good way to do it with class.
