October Circles 7

Today's circle is a frailing banjo a friend gave us years ago. It's always been more of a decoration than something to make music on. But it has its own beauty and looks even better when you give it that "old photo" touch!

[Maggiemae]

This is very artistic and great of you to see this out of something ordinary or almost ordinary - you can't call a banjo ordinary - it would be most insulted!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@maggiemae Thank you Maggie- you are absolutely right! And I think Sousaphones might feel the same.

[Taffy]

@edie @photographycrazy @aikimomm @salza @dibzgreasley @777margo @thistle @pools82 @grammyn @quietpurplehaze @nicoleterheide @susale @pyrrhula @timewalker

Thank you Edie, Bill, Phoebe, Sally, Debs, Margo, Joyce, Mike, Katy, Hazel, Nicole, Suse, Pyrrhula and Pam! I'm surprised by the overwhelming response to this shot! I thought was plain looking so slapped on a texture and interesting edging just for fun.

Wow! Trending Page and Popular page!! Thank you so much for all the views, comments and favs!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@susale Actually Suse, I really didn't do much. The lamp in this room gives off a warm glow and the wall color is neutral so it picks up color from the lamp. The banjo is old so it has a vintage look to it already. I just found a "vintage effect" that added a little more color and then applied a "frame" that looked like paint around the edges. A quick and simple fix to a somewhat simple shot.

[Sandy]

This looks like a beautiful abstract painting. FAV

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@777margo Thank you Margo! Yes, I'm enjoying this although I'm thinking I might be stuck in the same color palette!
