I have no idea what that bell is made from, but it's not particularly appealing to me. However, the photo is perfect otherwise, I like the ribbon and the lighting, and it fits the challenge so I'm giving it an 8.

Looks like a bell shaped bud. I guess smoking it would make for a merry Xmas, eh?

I'd expect this one to glow a lot more than it does. amp up the luminosity and let it sing.
