WW- Cephalaria in decline

. I often find that flowers in their decline are even more interesting than when they are in their full glory. This week's entry for the Tuesday and Wednesday editions of Wordless Wednesday.

No decline around here. WE're on our third flowering of the Honeysuckle. Just glorious.

I also like the way flowers look after the full glory. There is so much going on with this flower and it looks like seeds are being set in the center. Great shot.

The lighting is sweet on this. How did ya get the color here it is so soft and muted.

THe lighting is the product of using a ring flash and a well stopped down lens. THe colour is just from reducing saturation!
