365 Project: Photo 143

Today's theme was May Flowers but, as spring is manifestly refusing to play along this year, there really isn't much in the way of floral flourishing to be photographed. However, on the windowsill at home there is a bunch of flowers that, for over a month now, have been slowly dying. This isn't quite as awful as it sounds. Although they're clearly passed their prime it has been a conscious decision of mine to keep them there as I think they've been getting more and more interesting as they dry out.

This was, presumably, a rose (I know lots about plants on a molecular scale but next to nothing on the macro scale). In Photoshop I added some graining to bring out the textures some more, and also a vignette; it seems to look a bit more like a painting now, which I rather like.
