The discards
I always like to see what they throw away in the discard pile next to my favorite dahlia gardens. I got this idea from Eric Hahl one year who walked away with a great, artistic image. Though most are in pretty sad shape, I think the color and randomness makes up for it...

Canon 5D Mark II
Canon 100mm Macro
ISO-800
f/5, 1/125th, handheld

Very cool, Ned. I love the color mix.

Think there might be a bouquet or two or more in there. Did you get to rummage for one? ;-)
More than a little poignance there, too.

What a mix of beauty and ugly. The colors are so nice, but the wilted petals introduce an interesting tension. Nicely original Ned.

Bright mix of color Ned.

Great idea with this one Ned. I really like the contrast between the fresh and wilting flowers. Very creative.
