Tree Ornament - circle 4

Occasionally you will see people decorate their outdoor trees (what we call 'naked trees' - no leaves) with shiny Chritmas Balls. This one grabbed my attention and seemed to fit the circle theme - it's a one dimensional image of a three dimensional ball.....doesn't that make it a circle?

Beautiful. Strong composition and very nice red tones.

Just think of it as an infinite number of infinitely thin circles of varying sizes all stacked together - more circles than you can shake a stick at :o)

Sure does in my opinon. Like this. Love it when I see these on trees outside!

I decorate my front yard tree. It adds a lot of cheer. This is a beautiful, close, clear shot with great light. V

A nice shining ball.

:-)) As we still not be able to make 3D pictures : a ball is a circle for photographers !
And this one is a treat !

Well, the light is helping to make this look almost three dimensional :o) Lovely rich red colour with just the right amount of glitteriness...a lovely shot Racine!

I love glittery baubles...they look so good on sparse trees like this.
