February 2018 photo competition - 'decay'

[Top Banana]

Right...the topic for February is "Decay"

This could be urban decay such as old buildings or areas, but you could also interpret this
as a rusting old car, or even some rotting fruit/flowers..

Lets see some varied and imaginative ideas based on 'decay'....

Rules:

The photos taken must be your own work and taken in the month of the competition.
The competition will run from the first to the last day of the month.
The winner from the previous month decides on the topic for the following month and judges it at the end of the month.
Entries and discussion on this single thread, please.
All entrants acknowledge that they may indeed win and that their adherence to convention ensures everyone else's continued fun.
Photos entered should be no bigger than 750 pixels wide for a landscape photo and 600 pixels high for a portrait photo due to the PH squash factor. Links to larger versions are permissible.

OK, so not a huge amount of entries for Feb's competition...maybe the cold weather has put everyone off

in 3rd spot I would place chandrew and the composition of the decaying tulips - some nice
colours and good use of dof.




in 2nd spot I have chosen the 'science corridor' by Pidsy...some great UrBex
groove going on with this one..

So first place for Feb, and this goes to this image from C&C - obvious decay
of the flowers, but also a photo that leaves you with some unanswered questions..who
were the flowers a tribute to?, what was their story?

Thanks to everyone for entering the comp, over to C&C for the subject for March.
