It was taken on Sunday. Unfortunately hanami is mostly over, so no sakura photos, which I'd have preferred, so apple will have to do.

Oh what the fsck, here is my entry. Taken just a few minutes ago with my trusted Jolla 1, stock camera. No prizes for working out what it is.

A special note to juiceme: I know, I know, "too small". Whatever. Get that damn TMO uploader fixed.

As an extra bonus, here are three candidates I had considered and rejected even before levone1's excellent submission.
Please note that they are all not part of the competition!

Rejected candidate 1,
"Field at dusk"

I was passing this field close to my house when I noticed nice long shadows and a short arc of a rainbow at the background. Unfortunately, by the time I managed to safely cross the road and set up my equipment, the rainbow had almost completely gone. There is still a small hint just about visible above the white shed in the left.

Rejected candidate 2,
"Way home"

Name:  20190511_195956.jpg

This is exactly what I meant by not quite fitting the theme.

Rejected candidate 3,
"My street"

Yes, it is really my street. The white thing on the right with small windows and a car parked in front of it is my house.
I swear it looked better in real life but the camera turned it into a piece of 5h!t. Burnt out sky and the street drowning in darkness. It looked nothing like that to the naked eye.

Well I don't find it that bad:

Yeah, but that would be post-processing and hence cheating
(Plus you lose some sharpness.)

I like the "way home" one.

And as far as I see, it is more related to the "Lighting" theme than my entry.

If I remember right, post processing is allowed as long as you describe what you have done.

But I'm with you. I wouldn't throw such a heavily altered pic in a competition like ours, even so it's in principal allowed.

(You don't lose sharpness but contrast. But of course you could compensate that. That was just a VERY quick and dirty job )

Actually, I quite love this picture!
The structure and consistency of it is such that this is one of the rare cases where the absolute size does matter.

Well Done!

So I'm not alone! For me one of the best pics of the whole competition (not only May 2019) so far!
