I often like to abstract reality in my photographs. But light is the main thing that I look for.

Being under the weather today I struggled for inspiration. As the gray morning led to mottled light in the afternoon, a bit of defined shape thrown into my image appealed to me.

I had intended to take a variation of a self portrait for the special day, but instead I was just a low energy reflection of myself and so picked the flower photo for my main submission.
