Claddagh

word of the day is "Irish". Thought this one on the green background would also serve as the photo for the month of green theme I'm doing

[Jane Anderson]

Very nice in so many ways!

[Peter Grave]

Nice capture Kathy.The green background looks more like a grey colour on my screen?

[Debs Stott]

great choice for Irish!

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

lovely comp and background texture, shows off the Claddagh pin beautifully

[Issi Bannerman]

I think this is a lovely Irish memento. I believe the hands represent friendship, the heart love, and the crown loyalty. Nice capture.

[Margaret Brown]

Love your choice of subject, nice focus

[Pyrrhula]

A beautiful ornament and capture, a great find for the theme .

@cejaanderson @peterlgrave @dibzgreasley @ziggy77 @jamibann @craftymeg @pyrrhula Thank you for responding to my photo of the claddagh. I wish that the focus was just a little sharper. I'm going to check that out. It seems recent close-ups with this lens (kit lens 18-55mm) haven't been as sharp as I'd like them to be. If anyone has any tips, i'd be happy to get them.

Awesome focus. Love the texture on the background.

[Kathy]

@altadc Thank you, especially for the comment about the focus. The focus wasn't as clear as I would have liked so I monkeyed about with it in processing. The background is a wool sock.

[Linda Plummer]

This is a great Irish symbol. Great capture.

@randystreat ohh you did a great job with picmonkey. I find silver hard to photograph, they are just so shiny and dull but this one is different!

[Kathy]

@lindamp5 Thank you Linda.
@altadc I'm glad to know you have that problem. The jewelry was very shiny and I couldn't capture it very clearly.
