Excellent! I love this. It's like a scene from Blair Witch. I have no idea what you're being fearful of, but I can clearly see it.. and I really love it.

Good shot, but the crop and angle are a little off. If you rotated this slightly clockwise you could get the bottom of the purse completely in frame and also hide the top right corner of the pillow. In addition the bottom right corner of the image is a little blown out on my screen.

Since the purse is the subject of the picture (according to the title and challenge), it may have been better to crop the glove and get the entire purse in the picture. Cropping out the very top would have taken away that "glimpse beyond" as well. I assume that it was difficult to photograph, because not only is it transparent, it probably reflects a lot of light, too. For that reason, maybe having two sources of light (one on either side) and diffused somehow (paper towels work well), may have helped you to keep from washing the right side out. I like the contrast of the black gloves and the pastels of the flowers and purse. karmat
