I think I know what you are all going to choose but here are my tries.
A very un-interesting shot of a rooting Potato (I think the composition needs work if I am to use this!) lol. I may even re-shoot it, unless you all think I am wasting my time.

"Rooting for me"

And a dried Rose. Now I know someone else has entered a Rose and I thought, "Darn it!!!" but, here is my version. (Using my very expensive lighting system, my desk lamp, and my hubby's black sweatshirt! haha).

"He Loves Me Not"

    My daisies which are similarly titled to yours ("Loves me not") were similarly lit and held.
    I lit them with candles because the power was out and they are in a beer bottle!
    My background was some bristol board.
    Nice to see other people being as low tech as I am.

    Oh my goodness! I just saw your daisies! Our entries are almost identical in title as well as composition!

    Oh, I think this crop is much stronger. And I prefer the first one, with everything sharp. thumb.gif
