OK, not sure how I feel about this shot. On the one hand its a nice shot, in fact very similar to one I currently have in the free-study challenge. HOwever this shot didnt hit me, so maybe I will unsubmit my entry.
Anyway, back to business, it meets the challenge, in a way. The colours are lovely, the focus is where it needs to be, however overall its nothing amazing, but it works. Well done.. 7
