Survivor (Dying Tulip Meditations)

This photo in the Dying Tulip Series is darker, yet hope is not lost. I call it Survivor. She is standing tall under a rather apocalyptic sky, created by my ink painting in the background. I went darker in editing, as that was what was called for. The highlights in the background echo the shape of this expiring tulip who has a scorch mark on her left petal, yet she is still standing strong. Today's world is not an easy place, but we must not give up. The light and hope are still radiating from her drooping petals.
