Nice capture, just goes to show we have to keep looking around us to see what's going on. I love the way the rust on the pipe matches with his/her breast colour. Well done, I hope your nieces prom photos are equally as good. Posted: 06/13/2021 20:05:07
Thanks Gail, yes I was surprised how much the pipe and breast color matched when I opened on my computer.
My niece wasn't wanting to pose a lot as she was going solo due to a break up two weeks prior but all the photos of her did turn out well. Posted: 06/20/2021 09:40:57

She looks terrific and you did a great photo for her memories! Posted: 06/20/2021 16:39:01
Good catch, looking right at you, and well done! The light background allows the colors of the bird and pipe to stand out. Posted: 06/14/2021 17:48:08
Very sharp with a nicely blurred background. The colors match quite well. Your niece has a charming expression. Posted: 06/25/2021 05:57:27
