Shot while out wandering about with tanguera in Hollywood. Lensbaby. Not expecting a winning or even average score. Had a lovely sunset I was going to shoehorn into the 100 years challenge.... but nope, you get this instead. I haven't entered a Lensbaby in awhile. Zigomar got me to thinking about putting it in the bag again. Thanks!
P.S. Little can you tell from this, but it was over 80 degrees today. In January. 80 degrees.
Post challenge - Ha! Just goes to show what I know! Thanks for the wonderful comments and kind votes - very much appreciated!

Wow nicely done. I haven't been doing much photo taking lately. Trying to get inspired again. I feel this is a very inspirational photo. Simple, classic just all round pleasing. Loveing processing. The lensbaby did you well. Awesome job.
There is so much depth to this image, as though the very vapors of living are rising and dissolving into the ethers. A life line, illuminated for our convenience, keeps us from emptying ourselves into nothingness.
I love the sharpness and composition of the wire holding that simple lamp. But the shadows and light are equally as interesting. Wonderful photograph, terrific b/w conversion, hope it does well!!
Nicely done. Great job with the selective focus. It's position in this photo makes us ponder top portion of the photo, then find the striking point of sharpness.
