Ok. . .I've decided: This one needs to be a ribbon winner! This is so creative and cute! There are way way toooooooo many photos of glass figurines here! But this one is refreshing, awesome, and I hope it is getting top votes!!!

Wow, I read your last comment in your photo's notes and thought you were talking about me, LOL. I thought, "Now how did she know?". Back to your picture... Beautiful flower shot! It's a shame we all got shot down on these. Your bokeh is excellent.

Excellent shot Deb! The fog is incredible. The curb gives you a nice leading line right into the thick of it. I'm surprised the lights weren't on. This seemed to be a really hard challenge to score in for sure.

Like I said, I absolutely love this photo, it really jumped out at me in the thumbnails page when voting, and I gave it a 9 (no 10s in this challenge for me). Should have done better I reckon, but its the kind of photo that can easily be underrated here.
fwiw, I really like the desat outtake, but not as much as this one.

The framing and composition seems to be perfectly balanced. The interplay of the diagonal shadows and the stripes of colour works really well, echoed by the solid black of the f/g staircase. The white steps on the bottom right of the frame add some depth to the composition.

Great find, takes a photographer's eye to see it and to fully exploit the potential. Your best entry I've critiqued so far in my books, even if it doesn't have the highest score.

ETA: wouldn't be quite the same without those lovely earthy tones
