Beautiful shot, but honestly, those are spirals, not circles. Where've all the literalist voters gone all of a sudden? : )

Thanks ... some redder strawberries would taste better too!

Originally posted by ladyhawk22: Nice subject choice! I like whatever those are stuck in with the strawberries....good texture contrast.

Those are lychee "nuts" from China or Southeast Asia, still in their outer "rind." The insides are a fragrant, slightly gelatinous pulp with a fairly large seed. You can probably find them canned in a major supermarket, and fresh in Asian markets when in season. They're great cold on a hot day ...

I have a red-green form of color-blindness -- one of the most common manifestations is "not noticing" this type of thing.

As for lines leading and leading nowhere ... barbed wire commonly symbolizes confinement, wide-open skies (even if over-saturated) symbolize freedom, and these lines both lead you towards and bar you from that freedom. Maybe I should have added the reflective pause to the title, and called it

Lines Leading ... Nowhere

It's hard to get a good shot of those twisty glass things (I tried last summer) -- nice job.

Nice oblique take on the challenge I didn't think of ... this one's certainly the best known, although I can think of a couple of other classics which would work well too.

This looks a bit oversharpened in places.

Even a colorblind person like myself can figure out this one ...
