More of a lighted shot than a creative use of lighting, this image falls short of meeting the challenge criteria in several ways. While a good image, the author might have chosen to use the available lighting to create an effect rather than just a image that is actually of snapshot quality. A little more thought would have helped as there are possibilities in this image such as a macro which would not only have met the criteria, but have placed high.

Love the crook of the hand and fingers, and that the surname on the headstone is King...like Stephen King, maybe? 8

Its good. I like the composition and the dirt, it would be better if it were at night probably.

This is a creepy pic. That's a gnarly hand. B&W fits nicely. Nice creepy shot for the challenge.

Well shot with good lighting and nicely finished with the frame. Only nit pick is that I would have cropped it tighter at the top.

Comment by Teafran:
While a terrific concept and well imagined, the overly white needles detract from the image by not having any sort of detail. From an artistic standpoint, it works very well, as a technical success, it's lacking by that one simple over exposure.

Beautiful colors, love the indent of the petal on the water miniscus. Not particularly illustrative of lighting.
