a very pretty lovely shot, halves or not. No such thing as failure - you are learning all the time when you look for the shots . I bet it is making you think about composition all the time.
Of course, it is still half of a composition. Works well in black and white. I have only dipped in and out of the challenge - could not do it for a whole month
Diagonals rock - and this is so pretty to go with it! No way have you failed - your images have been wonderful - and you have just expanded your thinking away from the straight lines. Only 8 days to go! :)
