 Backyard morning light. Really is quite lovely out there that time of day! The plant is a sage. No, not a wise plant, per se, but a type of botanical sage.

I love this one, Deb, and I just KNEW you'd be ribboning this challenge--even though I didn't know this particular image was yours in voting. My own submission for this challenge is actually based in no small part on things I've been learning from your images ever since DPL last year. This is one of your strongest lanes. :-D

My top score (10).

I love this.

I wish there were a tad bit more contrast to get some true blacks in there, but the shot is amazing!
