awesome concept, I am half liking the black background and half thinking it could be improved by having a urban street

Nice shot. I wish the rose on the paper wasn't red though, it adds a distraction to the two main colors.

I'm not voting in this challenge but, not for the first time, I have a message for you Andrew...

You have made me so proud of you every single day since May 2006. What you have and are going through is something no one should ever have to experience, there really is no justice in this world. But, the strength you have shown throughout these difficult months has been an inspiration to me.

Through our many conversations and the fundraising you have done you have shared your beautiful Rose with me and so many others across the world. The love and pride you have for Rose shines through in all you do and I know you will continue sharing that love with us.

I also know that photography became something difficult for you to get into early this year, but, in recent months I have been so pleased to see you snapping like the old days. Your enthusiasm for all different types of photography and the excellent ideas you come up with show you still have the 'photography bug' and I hope that continues for many years to come.

Photography gives us a way of expressing things that sometimes there are just no words for. I know you Andrew and know what this special image means, but, others on DPC may miss that. Don't take any comments or scores to heart, be proud of yourself for using your photography as a way of helping you get through these difficult times.

Now, give me a smile and if your lucky I might buy you a pint on Saturday ;o)

LU XxX

I gave this a 7. Beautiful scene. Nicely captured. I like the grass at the fore and the colors in the image, especially the russet. The blue gray sky is a nice color. Like to have seen all those colors a little more vivid. With those reds creeping in on the left, perhaps a little wider too, if you had it. But your crop choice, of course.

au revoir (never goodbye)

When it hurts to look back
And you're scared to look ahead
You can look beside you
And you best friend will be there

Thinking of you and Rose today. Love always XxX

Sad to learn the backstory in this image and I'm sorry for your loss. Having learned it, an already strong image becomes so much more. Best wishes.
