 Quite unlike my stuff. I like that.

My wife doesn't like it. Her comment was: 'What a load of sh*t'. She said she would give it 3 (at the most).

She can actually vote in this challenge. I for one hope she doesn't!

Post challenge:

Many thanks for the kind comments. I'm glad it hit the mark for some (lovely) people!

I respectfully disagree with your wife :) Rather a lovely and refreshing interpretation. Love it.

One of the very, very few that met with MY understanding of contre-jour, with some lovely rim-lighting. Certainly in my top 3 of the challenge.

As though being vaporized by the splendid light. Such gorgeous tones.

I think this is a really good example of the challenge, myself. The light is a powerful component but isn't an obnoxious and boring star flare either. Much more interesting.

I'm not into flower shots normally but this has a certain je ne sais quoi, maybe the tones, maybe the light, most probably both, like it anyway.
