Awwww....don't be like that. It is only a spent flower....I like the mono treatment but I prefer the coloured one for its cleaner look. Hmm...I like both of them really -- the mono has the grungy look treatment. Are you feeling grungy today?

[Plumcrak]

Not feeling grungy, just feeling like I am hanging by a thread this week.

Nice efforts.

These plants are always a good subject matter I've found. I like the dark mysterious one best, goes with the title of image/post better at thought.

Good concept, Jon, I like the use of negative space in the first shot and the mono conversion of the 2nd. I wonder though, if you might have made your statement more forcefully with a little pre-captured gardening. eg delicately removing all but one of the florets.

Greg, I thought the same exact thing about 2 hours after the shots were taken That is just how this week is going

I really like the tinted monochrome image and agree with others that it matches your title well. BTW, I think that only one floret would have looked much more contrived so I like it as is.

It is hump day, may the downside of the week only get better for you!

For someone feeling the heaviness of your week, you did have something nice happening to you -- your shots.
