GGW's Picture This Photo Contest: Lighting: A Closer Look

This month's GGW Picture This Photo Contest theme is Lighting: A Closer Look.  The judge, Alan Detrick, gave us a directive to:

"The subject choice is yours but make it a close up or macro image. If you don’t have macro equipment, get as close as you can. Look at your images carefully to make sure the lighting sets the mood."

So I'm going to enter the same exact photo I did last month because I don't have another that fits the theme better than it does.  This backlit astilbe leaf that I snapped a little over a year ago is my entry:

  

I hope I'm not breaking a rule by entering the same photo two months in a row, but it only got an honorable mention last month, so I think it's okay.

I love this picture. ? Same judges? Maybe they'll award you "Most persistent". Anyway, good luck, and let us know the outcome.

Mom -- Different judge and I think it's okay to enter a photo again as long as it didn't win an award. And since last month I only got an honorable mention, I figured it was okay. They included it in the gallery of entries, so apparently I was correct. I think I entered it last year in a "best ever" themed month and it didn't even get an honorable mention, so it's all very subjective.
