This was made for the weekly challenge over at
here's the [link]

The theme was "holidays" and I wanted to give it a bit of a different perspective, so this is dedicated to, and symbolic of all those flowers and plants that are neglected during the summer holidays or time away from the office etc.

used Photoshop CS

*looks at the time* i hope I actually submit this on time hehee but honestly even if I dont it's the motivation of the challenge that is wonderful

[update]
ive added my signature, cleaned up the edge of the bottle that sticks out of the border, and attempted to improve the quality of the background.
[updated update!!]
just increased the resolution.

[and another update!! see now im getting obsessed with it ..ive added a multiply layer to the whole image because i was worried about it being too faded.. problem is ive been viewing it from different places and im not used to colour profiling yet, does it look better now? comments and advise appreciated]
