 Running, running, running toward something, anything I can shoot to get in this challenge on time! I found this interesting wrapped ball in a botanical garden atop a post.

This was a great challenge and interesting to explore the impact that backgrounds have on an image!

Shot in JPEG with the normal batch of basic Photoshop cropping, levels & contrast adjustments.

There is something I really like about this. Not the most interesting subject but it's really enhanced by the contrasts. The color of the background the sharpness of the foreground. Very nice composition.

Nice bokeh and way to resist using a flower as a subject.

Excellent Bokeh effect. Maybe croping the lower portion less would have added to the composition.
