 well - another last minute entry. likely to bomb.

tried for the surreal.

EDIT: well i was right about it bombing. this is a daffodil painted chrome and placed on a piece of glass also painted chrome. i placed the smaller flower on the glass after i was done with the spray paint. held it at an angle pointing toward the sky, and tilted it around in different orientations while i snapped photos. this one came out the best. i know it was probably hard to connect to the challenge theme, but that was my intention. i knew there would be a boat load of shots of churhces, and wasn't wrong there. i like to be a bit different, and sometimes that can be painful ;}

this may be the first image that i have seen that actually prompted thought and understanding of the theme here. nice work...please offer some insight into the holiness you saw here. very abstract!

Wow! Is that a knife? Simple yet stunning. In my faves.

your entry made me look for a while. at first it looks like a knife, but that wouldn't make any sense.
is this part of a grave? I love the composition and use of color
(I think a lot of people would think it's obvious to do a shot like this in B-W)

Not sure why so many did flowers for this challenge...does not really connect with it for me, but I really liked this shot. Clean, sharp and different.

I'm sure there's a connection to 'holy places' with this photo, but the title doesn't give me a clue, and I really don't know what I'm looking at here with this.

I am not sure what I am looking at....a knife with a chrome flower on it? It's an unusual image and I am not sure how it fits the challege.

I'm sorry, but this picture doesn't make sense to me.

I don't get the holy places connection.

Very nice shot, would be nice to see it from a wider angle just to see what we're looking at.
