With the title, this image gives a powerful statement. Are you saying goodbye to a loved one or to the Christmas season. Or maybe to your visiting relatives.
Nice contrast between the growth and death of a plant.
Three tone color contrast? Works well for me. I also really like the different texture contrast. Might have preferred a slight aperture, not sure though. Wonderful sharpness and bold colors.
