 On a bush in the Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, VA. No post processing whatsoever except for crop and resize.

Not shot explicitly for the challenge. I predict this is too 'dreamy' to get a very high score.

Very creative. The bluish area on top is my only criticism. Like the light levels, don't let anyone tell you it's too dark. 8.

NIce lighting, I think the only improvement would have been to shoot it a little closer n, the right side is a bit dark

Good composition, very good use of the branches to draw your attention towards the subject. Also very good use of nice warm lighting -- good to see that used to good effect here. A bit of a shame about the blown out highlights, I would be tempted to underexposed these sorts of pictures as shadow detail can be rescued, whereas highlights cannot. Definitely a case for shooting in raw mode if your camera supports it. Well done.Good luck.

Lovely subject - my only complaint is a bit too much glare from the sun on some leaves. Would like it better if you'd toned some of those down a bit. Still, very nice.
