A decent attempt but you have taken your eye off the ball in relation to the background it needs straightening, good luck

I like your thinking and approach, although it seems a little on the soft side it is one of the better attempts here

Good idea and good execution though the hand seems somewhat unnatural, I thought it had a latex glove on, now I can see it doesn't. Anyway, definitely one of the best attempts here, well done.

Thank you all for your comments, they are very welcome and gratefully received.

Melethia and Neat, I wholeheartedly agree with you about titles, they are such an important part of every image. So, you can imagine my frustration when I submitted this image and for some obscure reason it just would not let me enter a title or any other details! It continually reported an error message about the image being out of the date range telling me to submit another, yet it accepted my image, which was taken on the last day of the challenge.

I had hoped the image would fare better than it has but considering it started off at 4 I shouldn't complain! There have been a lot of excellent images submitted into this challenge, a treat to experience, well done everyone and thanks again for all your comments and votes.

Those colours, texture and detail give this a somewhat surreal feel, it works well, good luck
