OriginalYaowarat Road, the centre of Bangkok's Chinatown, at night
Reason
Archetypical image of the Chinatown at night (or at least the one in Bangkok), with its busy main street lined with untidy façades bearing bright lightbox signs shouting Chinese characters. Quality is at the top end of what can be expected from a hand-held night shot. Though the people in the foreground admittedly obscure the vanishing point, I think they also help provide context.

Original – Sweet autumn clematis (Clematis terniflora) seed cluster - each seed having a white 'tail' that will become feathery as the seed dries - the better to be dispersed on the wind
Reason
good composition, in focus, makes the viewer want to know more; is important to the Clematis terniflora article.
