Abstract Thursday - Transience - Dying Tulip Petal

With Ingeborg's suggested ideas it was not hard to find examples of transience in the garden. I spent a lot of time with leaves which were literally 'curling up and dying' but in the end this tulip petals which is beginning to fade seemed the best one for an abstract image. I have used the oil paint filter in photoshop to give it this texture. (first time I have ever used this filter)
