I had some thoughts as to whose entry this could be. Never thought it was yours. I see it made your profile page. Nice work!

Pretty textures, but the blurry flowers in the background take away form that... Nice lighting and colors. 5/10

I shall be rating this challenge by the following criteria:

1 - Not HDR in my opinion

3 - HDR is way over-done, in my opinion

5 - A reasonable use of HDR, but not a very engaging photo, in my opinion

7 - A reasonable use of HDR, and an engaging photo, in my opinion

10 - A fantastic use of HDR, and an out of this world photo, in my opinion

Your photo receives:
