So elemental and essential that it holds the eye and forces the mind to interpret its meaning, this piece forges the simplicity of carbon-based iron into art. Without the location of Sydney (could be Ohio), this would loose its humanity. As it is, this wrapped link joins metal to man. 9.

I can really appreciate and do enjoy a good macro shot. But I fail to see how this is relative to the challenge.

lovely macro, but I think you need to expand your fantasies. It seems a lot like a reality... 6

In general a nice floral macro with good pink tones and low noise.

Florals are common challenge entries so will not be thought of as having a strong fantasy connection for many viewers.

On the technical side the black inner borders near the top and left center petals have some black harshness that could be removed with simple cloning. Florals like this often look better if the center is placed according to the rule of thirds. jmsetzler's "Pianissimo" is a classic example of that.

Overall a nice capture.
