"Grief" Tulip

[pyrosee]

My bother is fighting leukemia, and this tulip wilting after being picked the day before became very symbolic. I woke up around 7am, bright sunshine coming through the windows hitting the tulip and antique glass just right.
I shot this in maximum resolution in 3:2 mode,(2048) straight to a Tif. Camera is a Stock Sony DSC-75, stock lens. Not photoshoped in anyway except to save as a jpeg/sized. I think the sunlight turned blue because I had white balanced for indoor lightingg the night before.

:wave Hi pyrosee, welcome to dgrin. That's a striking image. And it's doubly powerful because of your brother's illness. I hope he's staying strong.

Excellent shot and I hope its not symbolic. My prayers and best wishes for your brother in his fight.

I have found this to be such an outlet. Thanks for the comments. Anybody got any suggestions for touching this up? I really haven't messed around with adjusting images in photoshop.
