Thoughts
The idea behind this picture concerns superficial beauty and underlying character. Depicted is a leaf which has been cut off from its supply and started to wither away; this represents the true character and liveliness of a person which has died off. The flower is, although also cut, still alive and pretty - this symbolizes the physical beauty of a person.
Combined, this photo ultimately symbolizes those people that at first look great on the outside and draw you in with their superficial beauty. But, having been cut off from what makes a real person with meaning, having lost character and life, and what makes one an enjoyable person, they wither away, till their artificial beauty dies off with them and the truth is revealed - that in the end there was nothing, and that eventually a time would come where people will realize and see through the disguise.
Equipment
Canon EOS 600D
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8
Post-processing in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3.6 and Adobe Photoshop CS5
