(Day 215) - Neckties in Black & White

Needless to say, stripes are my favorite pattern on a necktie.

Wonderful patterns and DOF. I'm guessing the one in the middle is your ultimate favourite striped tie? :D

I sincerely thank you all for visiting and commenting on my project! What’s interesting about the way these ties are stacked is that they are actually side by side, overlapping each other, but the shallow DoF really emphasized the stacked effect.

@marieooi - haha you're absolutely right! That tie is actually green, which is my fav color. Thanks for the comment Marie!

@makailsmom - Aww poor Shauna. Hope you were able to get the rest you needed. Thanks a lot of checking out my photo.

B&W was a great choice! I never would have thought of doing that, but it really emphasizes the pattern without all of the competing colors.
