Love the scarlet, the composition and especially the texture here, Teri. I also think you did a great job with that little light. I tried shooting ornaments with lights in the frame and had a lot of trouble--so I just laid mine on a table :)
Great job and Happy Theme Day. #805701

Susan Fox December 10, 2007

Excellent job with the light Teri! You get it just right. Love the composition with the red ribbon (?) swirling from left to right. #5193397

Teri Soares December 10, 2007

Hi Susan and Nikki. Thank you both for your encouraging comments. That light was troublesome and I thought of cloning it out, but since I was running out of time...

Very pretty comp and lighting Teri! Love the classic red on green! Happy Theme Day! #5193756

Susana Ms Heide December 10, 2007

This is so beautiful! The smooth texture of the ornaments against the pine needles make for a fantastic contrast! #5193843

Teri Soares December 10, 2007

Thank you all so much! Your comments are wonderful for my soul! I am working hard to learn everything I can about photography and lighting. A lighted tree was definitely a challenge!

Happy holiday shooting to everyone!

Excellent Ornament shot, Teri! Love the swirl of the ribbon, nice lighting. I need to get busy taking some Christmas shots this years, I'm so behind! #5196123

Teri Soares December 11, 2007

Cheryl, I know you'll have some beauties when you get around to it. If I had your garden, I'd probably not be thinking of ornaments either! Have you ever decorated your tree with roses? I'll bet that would be glorious!

Joannie Bertucci level-classic December 12, 2007

Teri, blue is my favorite color but at Christmas time it is red...the hues of red you've captured here shine the Christmas spirit across the screen!
Outstanding Christmas composition and what a wonderful Christmas card this would make! #5202150

Teri Soares December 12, 2007

Hi Joannie! Thank you for your kind words. Blue is my favorite, too, but like you, I love red during Christmas. I'm glad these turned out well. Sometimes red overwhelms my camera, but this time it got it just right.

Colleen Farrell December 13, 2007

Beautiful Christmas image, Teri!! I love everything about it--details, color, composition. I have trouble shooting red, too--glad it worked for you on this image! :) #5203949
