I like the photo and also that you have to work just a little to figure out the anagram, but the composition is just a smidge uncomfortable with the leading edge of the chair at the far right of the frame. Some make like the 'tension' that this introduces to the image I suppose.

The timing on the lighting is very well considered.

I get the Anagram and overall like the subject and lighting, but it's unfortunate that some of the body has to be left out of the frame.

I was quite surprised to see this didn't make the front page, or break the Top 10. Tough challenge these 'Best Of' are ...

The toning on this is perfect as are the details. Looks like an awesome spot to visit.

Had you as one of my top picks - gave it a 9. :-)

Hi Debbi. Hope you don't mind but I took some liberties with your entry and did a little post work on it. I like the building and I think it suits the challenge well, but it seems that your autofocus grabbed the foreground branches, and with the shallower depth of field (at F2.8) the background (subject building) just couldn't quite come thru. Did you select ISO 100 and F2.8 on purpose? I'd think you could go up to at least ISO 400 to go a bit deeper on aperture and still maintain a hand-held shutter speed. ???

Anyway - here's a rough workup I gave it to add a little mood. Quick and dirty, so to speak, using my laptop. I'll pull it if you'd rather not have it posted here.

Take care.
Barry

:-) Thanks Lev. He has a hold on it and is running it back to me.

Oh, he definitely gives it back. Over, and over, and over, and over ... he literally tosses it at your feet after bringing it back. Along with incessant barking until you throw or kick it again! :-)

Either you have some really large feet, or the greenhouse is on the small side. LOL Looking at the fresh footprints by the door (a little rearranging in order, was it?). :-)
