I'm in agree with you about the nature is beauty and some times subtle, but the thing that make it beauty or subtle, is our mind, our thoughts and our vision. "the nature of beauty is impossible to capture, or define, or record, or analyse", but is possible to understand. If not, we may not to understand what is Beauty and what is Bold, smells good or bad, and so on. But in general, I'm in agree with you. at last we have to "be as faithful as possible".

Thanks for the comment Mohammad, and thanks for the alternative view - that's an interesting interpretation. The roses are dusty, faded and long dead. The 'revelation' in this series is supposed to be that the nature of beauty is impossible to capture, or define, or record, or analyse. So I'm trying to be as faithful as possible to what I see as the subtle beauty (or non-beauty) of the objects and present them in a way that does not conform to a conventional ideal. I don't want them to be noticeably unconventional either.
Very Nice Helen, I love floral photography too, but I'm not talented at all :). check for some color manipulation. I know, you mean your colors, but I have my mind.
