Dear Susie,
The main effect was to take a greyscale image of the photo, then to dodge and burn it in photoshop to create an even and rich texture. A copy of this was then pasted into the black channel in CMYK mode.

The blurred effect in the background was produced during shooting by using a narrow depth of field.

The image was taken when I was shooting images of pairs of objects as a theme working on the idea of 'couples'.

The image reminded me of an elegant elderly woman who had lost her life time soulmate. The twisting vine seemed to futher suggest the impending doom of the ravishes of age. Thus the title. There was another play of words in that the pair of flowers was in fact on my door step and I had passed it many times during the summer. Thank you for the comment on the background. I will consider seriously your suggestion.
Many thanks,
Kyle

Are there filters on this photo? I like the effect. Interesting title. I think it would stand out a little more if you could have blurred the background a little. It sort of distracts from the simplicity of the two flowers one reaching up and one bending over. Just my opinion.
Regards,
Susie
