Stunning low key picture! This dying flower is a magnifique subject, with its vigourous sibbling lost in beautiful bokeh. Love it.

I'm listening to Chopin's nocturnes. No better match.

Being a while here, and then, wow! So beautiful! Muted but vivid.
Thanking for sharing this beauty (all the time though).

Brilliant use of color and light and DOF ... that green backdrop sends shivers up my spine – it's luscious. Beautiful, beautiful deep saturation.

Although it's quite dark this violet colour is very luminous ! Can't miss it.

I love the title. The darkness of the exposure adds a moody tone. The petals drooping low evokes a sadness in me that the beauty of the flower will soon be lost. Very metaphoric.
