Tribute

The only thing I did to this shot was to crop a bit off the right hand side:
the flower is left over from the fourteenth of February - presented to all the old gals in the home where my partner's mother lives.
That's her in the background and the hand of a visiting son (partner's younger brother) in front. She hasn't seen him for two years.

As overly sentimental as it may seem, I feel that this really captured the moment.
Even in the simplicity of the totally generic red carnation.
