 I liked the texture of this dead seedpod I found while tidying the garden; thought its shadow would be interesting so spotlit it with a maglite mini torch.

Desat all except yellow channel, upped the USM to enhance the spiky feel.

Good use of light source to expand the composition and take advantage of the shadow.
