Angel with a Lute

I was at a bit of a loss for today's Try 4 July word: music. Most of my music books are still buried in piles awaiting the completion of our home improvement projects. My first attempt (posted in my 365 album) was more abstract. After I'd processed it, I saw this little statue my friend Dianne gave me for my birthday and thought, "Oh! I could have used that for music!" So I thought I'd post it here. Two very different approaches to the word- which one do you prefer?

[Rick Schies]

Very nice rendition

[Kerri]

Nice tones

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@digitalrn Thank you Rick!
@kerristephens Thank you Kerri!

I really like this one..such a cute figurine.

[Bev]

Nice shot. Love the color and tone and the texture. Well done :)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@bruni Thank you Bruni!
@prttblues Thanks Bev! I was just starting to wonder what happened to you!

[Terry]

cool soft tones in this

@sarasdadandmom Thank you Terry!

[Allison Williams]

I like the cropping. Gives the picture an intimacy that adds to the atmosphere.

[Taffy]

Quite an intimate shot -- with interesting textures. Very much a muse so works for me for music!

[Edie]

Great pov and I like the editing and textures. Nice shot.

[Timothy]

very cool

[Raine]

I like them both, really, for different reasons. This one has wonderful texture, while the other is an amazing abstract (which looks like a poster or album cover!)

[Gerry]

very beautiful Ann

[Sally Ings]

What an angelic face, looks rather peaceful!

[Dione Giorgio]

Nice one. Great tones.

[Dakotaburns]

Cool capture.

[Mrs. Smith]

This is a great idea!

[Laraine Kensicki]

the camera angle is really creative, and i truly love the texture of the statue and color of the processing ~

Thank you Allison, Taffy, Edie, Timothy, Raine, Gerry, Sally, Dione, Donald, Carla and Laraine! I appreciate all your comments and Diane will be pleased that you all thought her gift to me made such a great subject for 365!
