Sparkling

Preparing for a very festive weekend. I have two christmas parties this weekend, one tomorrow evening and one on saturday. Hence all the bling & bokeh.

No processing done, only mildly cropped

Beautiful light and tones. Love the bokeh!

[Penny Price]

Makes a wonderful abstract. (Only because I can't work out what it is!)

[Suse♡]

@pennyp Thank you Penny, that yellow glass is a candle holder and that other thing is just decorations, some small glass balls

[The Mysterious Mr Biscuit]

Wow, it's really hard to believe you haven't done much processing on this. The shadows, or darker shapes, in the background look like party goers, and the whole thing says "festive". I'm half expecting to hear http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0A8KT365wlA coming out of my computer speakers. Oh wait. It is :-D

[Suse♡]

@kaesebiscuit Oh from my speakers too, how odd ;-D

[DreaMaTrix]
