Fine, so this isn't dappled light in the "pinhole camera" sense. But the rose petals are dappled, having spots of different shades, due to light and texture.
That's close enough in my book. Besides, how many tree shadows can one challenge hold? =)
Self evaluation: A less-than-stunning floral shot, pretty ho hum. If voting, I'd give it a 5 or 6, but many won't like the processing and others will DNMC. My prediction: 5.2

I'm not totally clear on the dappled light definition and whether or not the light thru the blinds counts. Anywho, what I do like about this photo tho is how you've balanced out the white and bright with the beautiful red of the roses.
Great shot. To me, by clearly showing the roses on a table, you've offered a sense of anticipation. A decorated table is normally used for something...breakfast, dinner... and you've done a great job of conveying that.
