Macro Mystery...Lets Get Close: the reveal

For the weekly competition (#142) I also took a wide angle of the subject to forward to the judge. Judith kindly commented that she really liked the wide angle too and was worth sharing. C&C welcome of course.

Here's the comp entry

And here's the wide angle. I used my kitchen tile's semi reflective surface to give the dark background and reflection for the close-up, but I thought the lines of light reflected in the grout made a nice way to frame the subject for the wide angle view.

I agree #2 is excellent!

Oh, #2 for me also. Really like the grout lines/framing. How would it look with the right hand bottom corner line removed, or cropped out?

Cheers,
