Like lingering memories, a dry dead rose still has a beautiful scent.

Great pic....love the soft highlights on the right..but why is teh rose dying??

@Satrajit: It is dry and already dead. Thank you, Satrajit.
That's one beautiful pot which works well with the "forgotten" rose!I like the soft glow here....like a memory wrapped in dazing light.

@Japanalia: Thank you, Gabriela. Your interpretation is so poetic!
a strong image- the dead, once living rose in contrast to the highly ornate beautiful but never to be alive vase. the soft focus adds to the nostalgic ambience.

@Rhys: Thank you, Rhys. I like your thoughtful interpretation.
very nice shot... the light is beautiful !

@francis Beddok: thank you, Francis.
wow! powerful and sad.
28 Mar 2008 1:46am
@Rags: Thank you, Rags. It wasn't intended to be sad but i see how it could be seen that way.
Beautiful photo of a decorated lovely vase! But, the rose is just too sad like that - it needed hanging upside down to dry, before it got so dead then it might have been straight and not so dejectedly drooping! ;-(

@Anne: Thank you, Anne and I appreciate your advice.
harmony of tones for a past love remerber ?

@vera: It could be. But i was just playing around with composition. Thank you, Vera.
This is a very nice photo, it evokes the image to me of a lost loved one or waiting for someone to return. Pleased to meet you on your about page

@Peter Miller: Pleased to meet you, Peter. I appreciate your interpretation. Thank you.
I like the earthenware flowerpot. It looks Turkish or Arabic to me.
28 Mar 2008 3:21am
@givethemhell: Thank you. I believe it is Arabic.
Wow...that IS precious Michael...
28 Mar 2008 4:02am
@Lorraine: Thanks, Lorraine. Just trying out composition.

@Paola Veneziani: Grazie mille, Paola.
A very nice shot! Where did you get that vase...?
28 Mar 2008 4:08am
@MadScientist: Thank you, MS. I think in Saudi Arabia but I can't quite remember.
A beautiful still life, Michael. The vase is, indeed, very exotic, and the texture of the wall behind the rose provides the perfect backdrop. There is something poetic about the scene ... holding on to the memories through the faint scent that lingers.

@Ron: Thank you, Ron. I appreciate your nice interpretation. I was experimenting with composition.

Beautiful, Michael. Wonderful light.
28 Mar 2008 4:51am
@Betty: Thank you, Betty.
That's life. So short! But the life of the artist that crafted the pot will continue, in the pot.
28 Mar 2008 4:55am
@António Pires: I like your idea and thank you for the comment.
nice image! The style of the vase and the single wilting flower compliment each other and make for strong imagery than either of them alone...
28 Mar 2008 5:04am
@Jason Kravitz: Thank you, Jason. I agree with your interpretation.
Timeless! An excellent presentation!
28 Mar 2008 5:10am
@Craig: Thank you, Craig. I appreciate that.
Looks like the roses in my house... I can't bear to get rid of them.... The vase is so detailed It's texture makes me want to touch it... with the dark and bright colors.... beautiful...

@Elle: Thank you, Elle. I appreciate that.
Yes, this really stirs . . quite strange how we humans use flowers to convey the whole spread of our emotions.
28 Mar 2008 10:56am

@Monte Stevens: Thank you so much, Monte.
Outstanding and remarkable image. The processing is superb. Everything about it is just right. I must add the pot is magnificent, a collector item, handmade. It almost appears to be silver. Wonder what the story is on the pot.
28 Mar 2008 6:25pm
@Barbara: We bought the pot in Saudi Arabia. We don't know much else about it. There must be an interesting story behind it though. thank you, Barbara.

Magnificent shot.
28 Mar 2008 7:40pm
@Brites: Thank you, Brites.
Very well done, Michael. I like your use of light as it falls across the photo and the processing used on the shadow side of the image. Photography is nearly always about light first and other things secondarily. I think you've shown that here.

@Jeff: That's an excellent analysis. Thank you, Jeff.
