November Challenge

[Dave]

Here's the last one I have for this Challenge. Like my previous ones it documents how Ron's roses have suffered due to neglect on the part of the new renters.

   

For this one I wanted to contrast the sadness of the dead flower with some color to lift the mood a bit, so I positioned myself  until I had some background color. After I processed the image I wondered if the color stole the attention from the main subject but I've talked myself into believing the value contrast of the dead flower, its position in the composition, and its sharpness against the soft background are enough for  the flower to be the COI.
