Sad

seeing the last rose fade away

Note: The Minolta lens is 45 years old and was one of the best short tele-photo lenses at the time. Rivaling the iconic
Nikon 105 2.5 in a lot of ways.

Sony Alpha α7 II ,Minolta 100MM 2.5
1/160s f/2.5 at 100mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Sad was my first thought when I saw this shot. Very pretty. V

Beautiful image, Tom. It is hanging in there a little longer.

Yes, but wilted flowers always seem more interesting to photograph !

A beautiful fading rose and there will always be more in Spring, but perhaps the sadness here reflects many world events throughout the year. A haunting melody "The Last Rose of Summer", is set to the words of an Irish poet, Thomas Moore. V
