Photography: Rose through the Night

This photo is a depiction of the loss of life that continually cycles through the world. Although there is some color left in the rose, it is obvious that it will soon go the way of all flowers before winter and die. The flat angle makes us feel that we have found this flower ourselves, and the stark and cold lighting emphasizes the rose's struggle for survival. The completely dark background shows us that the flower's time has ended, and like the sun must set and the seasons must change, the flower must fade.
