Hi, Diana,
I love the wilted/dried up flowers. This one is shapely and a great subject. My only critique is that the image, in general, looks bit flat. I would maybe add a little color to the background and also the the flower -- maybe a light pink, very faint, to give it a little more interest. As usual your lighting and composition are really good !
I played with your image and came up with this. I hope that's OK. Posted: 02/16/2025 22:12:58

Another delightful flower image Diana. Even though it is wilted, it is still appealing to the eye and probably a little more interesting than a fresh version.
Crisp focus, clear lighting and good composition all add to the finished image, although I would consider cropping a tiny slice from the right so that the distance of the flower from the rhs equals that of the lhs.
I do like Donna's edit too. Posted: 02/21/2025 08:06:28

Diana, I like what you did with this image. The simplicity and plain background have captured a very nice image. Beautiful detail. Posted: 02/22/2025 03:23:39
