These are a streamside vine-like plant that I found growing along the banks of a stream in Myakka State Park, Florida.

The almost transparent flowers against the dying vines and faded blossoms does a great job of conveying the message that beauty is fleeting. I might be tempted to crop to a vertical of just the two main flowers to put them center stage. An excellent treatment!

Very interesting to look at. It looks like fabric. Softness of the petals hanging on.... waiting for their time.

A very ethereal quality to this rendition- quite moody and expressive. Very nice work with the contrasts . Agree with Gary, a Vertical crop could work well too.
