I'm thinking that this photo could use a different color / tonal theme to really make it say something. Any suggestions.

Also, any comments or criticism on how to improve something like this would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have no idea why the emphasis is on a dead, shriveled blossom.

It seems totally inconsistent with the background being all light and bright elements.

That's sort of the point, I suppose. The thought was... that summer is slipping away. This was more what I was thinking.

I agree that your most recent rendition comes closer to making your point.

Perhaps waiting until the majority of the blossoms have died would make the point even better.
