And finally the flowers. I've got a couple of posts worth of tombstones, but I'll probably just leave it to you to go to the gallery rather than inflict any more on y'all on a sunday arvo... http://justin.zenfolio.com/p43440978/

Pumped up the saturation, those plastic flowers are out of this world, they can take any boost you can put into 'em!

De-saturated and a slight diffuse glow

Justin,

I think the desaturation works very well in the 2nd last. That one is my pick.

I think the best of these (in order) are #3 with its lovely washed out look and #1. The Sat in #2 is too OTT for me and the last one just doesn't grab my interest.

ahhh I've been racking my brains all day why I took #4 because I had an intent and even placed the roses...

"A rose between the thorns"

Oh well, best intentions and all that - doesn't grab me that much either now I look at it more critically.

Craig,
#3 is the only one that works for me too. Maybe because I've been trying to achieve the same "RIP" feel with my flowers too during the shoot...and failed :(

The others, especially #2 are just too vibrant for my taste.
Last one might have worked better with stubbsy's rose!! :D
