Dead and dying flowers are very difficult to photograph attractively. I think you've got the lighting right here, but the image is let down by a rather distracting, but uninteresting background plus too many flowers which makes the picture too busy. The muted colours are good.
this is a great shot, but I a not sure it is demonstrating the sprit of the 2 second challenge...while it may have been a 2 second exposure, it might as well have been a 1/200 exposure if you know what I mean...a little blurry as well...sorry
