Pretty Lady

It's May Day, so instead of dancing around a May Pole, I took a shot of a pretty lady sitting on top of one.

[Lisa Poland]

Instant Fav!

[Dawn Swingle]

She is pretty! (I think we have this same shepherd's hook!)

[Julia]

Beautiful closeup

[Yao RL]

She looks like part of the furniture.

[aikimomm (phoebe)]

Very cool background, too!

[Tammy]

What a beautiful bird....and she's looking right at you! Cool processing!

[Wendy Bowden]

Lovely detail & colour

[Kathy]

She is beautiful and I love the female Cardinals!! Especially this over the shoulder alluring look!!! Awesome!

[Sally Ings]

She is just lovely and posing nicely for you.

[Debs Stott]

Love her perch, compliments her prettiness!

[Dione Giorgio]

Great capture of this lovely bird.

[Kerri]

Beautiful

[Francoise]

Ok, so now I have an image of you dancing around this maypole with your camera in hand while the bird watches in bewilderment.

[bkb in the city]

@homeschoolmom @rangerxenos @yaorenliu @aikimomm @tabarlett @salza @dibzgreasley @kerristephens @bkbinthecity @bkbinthecity @mittens @rubicon

Thank you everyone! Isn't she sweet? She was looking away while I set the camera up, but sensed my presence and turned giving me just enough time to snap her picture before flying away.

@francoise Oh my! That is not a pretty picture!!

[alia_801]

Beautiful capture of her - I think she was posing for you.

[Nicole]

lovely capture!

[Denise (lyndemc)]

That's a lovely pose she's struck for her portrait. The background created a great backdrop for this picture.

[Rick Schies]

She's looking a little miffed

[Taffy]

Very pretty lady! And well captured.

[Pyrrhula]

A beautiful capture of this beautiful bird

[Maggiemae]

Very nice - she has beautiful colours especially on her tail - might be a 'he' though with all that colour!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@alia_801 Thank you Alia!
@nicoleterheide Thank you Nicole!
@lyndemc Thank you Denise! (The background is leaves and tree trunks blurred by the zoom lens.)
@digitalrn Thanks Rick! She was nervous as at this moment she sensed my presence at the window.
@taffy Thank you Taffy!
@pyrrhula Thank you Pyrrhula!
@maggiemae Thank you Maggie! No, this is definitely a "she". Her counterpart is a brilliant red. Here he is- http://365project.org/olivetreeann/themes-and-comp/2015-02-27

[Henri Russell]

Oh, she is really posing for you. Fav.

[Ann T.]

Lovely! Nice capture.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@henrir @aat3877
Thank you Henri!
Thank you Ann!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@henrir And thanks for the fav!!

[Islandgirl]

What a cute shot Ann, love how the background makes her pop!

[Daisy Miller]

Beautiful shot. Great background for this shot.

[W.MARK HATCH]

love the grain effect, how is this done?

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@radiogirl Boy am I behind in seeing this! Thanks Kathy!
@daisymiller How did I miss these comments? Thanks Daisy!
@mhatch Thanks Mark! I am not exactly sure how this was accomplished- but I think what looks like a grain effect is actually from shooting through the screen door.

[W.MARK HATCH]

wow, ok!:)
