This wilted flower is alive with color and form, just as bright, just as beautiful as when it first bloomed.

Absoloutely beautiful shot, Dan! Love the background and the orange color of the flower. #156514Mary K. Robison August 10, 2004
Gorgeous to look at, Dan! Such fine clarity, and the look of the petals suggests a swaying hula skirt (except in very vivid orange)! #697317Pu Chen August 10, 2004
Must be a great comfort for the wilted flower knowing that it was preserved in such a beautiful shot. Love the waving petals and their bright color. Great eyes, Dan! #697333Isabel L August 10, 2004

Wow, Dan, at the bottom of this long thread of compliments I think I'll add mine!! This is beautiful in every way.
