The 39th Scavenger Hunt had an overarching theme, Rose, and 10 other words to associate to it. I went for a very literal interpretation of that, got myself a rose bouquet (on discount because they were starting to fade quite a bit) and managed the whole Hunt in one (long) afternoon.
This was my entry for the word Leading Lines.
Flowers have some natural leading lines, which I shamelessly exploited for this shot; I had shot multiple settings but I liked the diagonal arrangement best.

My initial idea was to have them somewhat less straight than vertical, but that didn’t work as well in my view. My lack of tripod (and proper lighting) was disturbing.
