Oh Robin, what a fantastic response to the Contrast challenge! That first image just grabs me.
Thanks so much Cindi – when the challenge came up, I immediately remembered this image and this day.
That cross is genius, Robin! 🙂
Many thanks Jo – I like that, ‘genius’ 😀
Excellent x 2!! Well seen, Robin. Fabolous light, fabolous composition…
Many thanks Malin – this hiding from the shops has its advantages 🙂

I see angel wings in your ‘cross’. Either way, a brilliant shot!
