Description

A close-up still life captures a bouquet of wilting tulips in a square, clear glass vase. The tulips feature red and white petals and long, green stems with their heads drooping. The vase sits on a grey surface that meets the corner of a beige wall, providing a simple, contrasting background. The lighting is soft and even, highlighting the textures and colors of the flowers and the geometric shapes of the vase. The photograph is shot at eye level, focusing on the tulips' natural decay and their graceful form even in decline.
