Mary Anne- This is gorgeous.. I think the discussion was good, but would not change a pixel.

I would say this is properly on topic as I interepret it Mary Anne. I find myself focusing on two spots really and they are both lit- so that seems good to me.

I like to delve Rod.... It is a dramatic image. I wouldn't remove it... unless Rod brow beat me into doing so. :) jano

Wot you mean remove it Mary:-) It's bang on topic & a terrific shot. Me & Jano like to delve deep into the art......................Don't we Jano:-(

LOL...I was in such a rush to get out the door to an appointment that I didn't even sign my whole name.

That "sprout" is actually a spent tulip bloom, but I didn't want to call it "Dead Tulip." I know the eye wanders back and forth, but I like it for that dynamic quality. However, I'll cheerfully remove it if you declare it off-topic, Rod.

Rod's strict rules indeed, you girls get away wiv murder:-)
This is very nice lighting Mary Anne but I'm a bit like Jano I tend to look at the sprout as the focal point & then after I blink the large leaf is the focal point so a bit of tension there. Nice shot anyhow:-)

This is really lovely Mary Anne. I keep wondering what the focal point is though.... given Rod's strict rules :) Do you intend it to be the bottom of the leaf or the little sprout? My eye is drawn to the bottom leaf then wanders to the shadows and then to the sprout. Maybe that is the point to this challenge.. not yet sure :) But IMO this is lovely and well done by way of lighting. Not sure what composition though you meant here. I do like it very much. jano
