Thanks so much for voting on this one! I was balancing outside on the lawn & a stubborn ant kept wondering into the frame -- this is one shot he didn't get into.
The only editing was a crop to get rid of the base of the glass -- I'm not yet technical enough to do fancy stuff. :o)

Very inventive use of spotlight, and refractive scatter on background. I like red, so I have a positive reaction immediately. I like also the twinkles on the twisted stem, (caused by refraction within the filter), and there is a rainbowing effect at the edge of the spot caused by refraction from the lens used to focus the white light onto the red background. All well controlled and lit! Nicely photographed, and well done!

Best of luck with the shot!
