Well done, Ruth! Beautifully executed image that fits the challenge perfectly. I love the way the sharp focus and the blurred background work together... really gives the photo a three dimensional feel!

Thank you pen araneae for your kind words. I'm pleased that the picture did well against some beautifully sharp competitors, and I'm particularly pleased to be at the pointy end in the results! :-)
