Festive Bow

Final shot for the One Night Stand challenge- a macro of a decorative bow which was hung to decorate our church for Christmas today. Added a little artsy flare to the processing which brought out the beautiful contrast of red and gold.

My thanks to each of you for the cheery comments. Not only do the colors of this bow act as a pick me up on another cold and damp day in the Poconos- your comments bring lots of smiles!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

I love the colors and "motion" in this. Wow!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@espyetta Thanks Marybeth! I think it's the pov with the bow coming at you that gives you a sense of motion.

[Nicole Campbell]

I really like your composition on this one Ann, it does look very festive.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@nicolecampbell Thank you Nicole! The gal who makes them for our church is so talented. I'm lucky if I can get the bow tied period let alone looking like this!
