 i hope to catch a better shot of this theme, if the weather cooperates! but i missed the last two challenges, and i really cant miss another...

i am having major issues with the lighting, since i dont have anything artificial to work with, and the on camera flash makes it look nasty. the "macro" filter isnt really up to scratch either. if i get a chance i am going to try it again at nite, with a torch also. i have a feeling that the shot i am trying to get would really benefit from multiple light sources.

I get the feeling that the focus should be a bit more "precise". It's a nice abstraction, but the focus being a bit "off" draws away from it.

for me there isn't enough detail in this

I'd like to see a greater DoF and more light on the lower left.

I like this idea, but the shadow kind of kills it, if all was lighted it would be great!
