Super! I'm relieved to see a scene which captures a story AND meets the parameters of the challenge. I tired of looking at closeups of single spring blooms...(including my own!!!) Wait....hold on......is that my soon to be ex-husband? What is he doing in what seems to be England? I didnt think they had double decker buses in Pennsylvania!!! hahahh lolol Getting back to your shot....love the angle, emphasis on the pansy flower bed taking up 2/3 of the frame and great juxtaposition against the red buses and red lights....did you wait for that moment or was is just by chance? Cool shot!

This is one of the few pix. in the challenge that actually delivers in black and white. The back lit emphasis really works to hold interest....especially concentrating on the edges, overlaps and the xylem and phloem tubes...the choice to NOT concentrate on the pistils and stamen, to take the angle from the opposite side further enhances the subtle nuances you have chosen to concentrate on and I am captivated! Where do you live? Is it summer there already?!!!!

You can't see the forest for the trees...

These broken branches suggest nature's inability to conceal the growing presence of the urban jungle. Leafless, they address the vacuity of this night time city in the waning hours of November. Though by merit of it's sturdy trunks the tree seems to purposefully block the glaring street lights using them instead as backlights which emphasize it's instinctual drive and never ending struggle for survival. Oh....and by the way.....havent we seen that building before.....somewhere?
