July Monthly Theme. That Feeling Of Accomplishment

I made an effort with the daily theme the other day.  Looking for a picture deliberately is something I can't usually do (although this subject was fairly easy). I dug out a flash and macro lens that I hardly ever use.  I actually had to lie down on the ground to take this shot, the spikes at the bottom are mown lawn, and I don't normally even bend down because it is physically difficult.  The black (dark in this case) background because the exposure is dominated by the flash is also a first, I have always used flash as fill-in and never on purpose as the "sole" light source.  Plus I was pleased enough with the results to not delete them.

Good morning everyone. It was a tough decision but I'm giving it to peterob for this macro image.
Well done!

Thank you for that! I wasn't expecting that at all.    

Thinking up ideas is not in my skill set so I'll ponder for a while and hence my advance apologies to eveyone for not making an instant post of this month's theme.  It will be not too late today I promise.


Edit (16:40) : new theme of "colour" is in Exhibition just now.  I have asked for it to be moved to the proper place.
