Sublime post (image, composition and presentation) again Lyn!
Lots of (negative) space in it, so, to me, a very good entry for the contest.
Wish you a lot of success in it.
Regards, Cornelius.

I read the Rules Lyn and I'm pretty sure basement Walls are excluded as Negative Space. Look it Up.

Just Kidding.....who knew you could use a Basement Wall for a Contest. Well Done !

Best Of Luck !

Very nice Lyn, I very much like your presentation of this. No, I don't think I've ever heard of this flower either, but I surely like. Makes a fantastic desktop...just had this in VB and gave it a high mark and fav'd it.
