G'day LIsa,[Sings: "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes".]
Although I really like the one that includes the incense stick I feel this one wins the money!
The patterns are so unusual and your colourisation is beautiful.
The framing/crop has set up a great composition showing off as many of the shapes as possible within the space of the frame and they are so clear and detailed.
In a word; "Luverly!"
