She seems to be surrounded by suitors that are vying to get the next dance at the annual Spring Ball. Either that or the other ladies have turned green with envy. Your choice.

Just like life - half pity half joy.
I have been hoping to see myself as a queen of the ball, but the one which I saw seems satisfactory, enough ...

Well she does look pretty in pink, but her beauty and poise pale in comparison with this true Southern Belle. A lovely capture of the trees, Tick. I would say you could stand to lighten the shadows to brighten the scene up some.

Hi, TicK...

I don't think I would have attempted the shot. It's not one of those neat and tidy shots with clearly defined edges and negative space. I'm not saying I don't like it, but I just don't have the cajones to try a shot of a bunch of trees. Obviously without the color the shot wouldn't really have a focal point. The color makes the shot.

Typically, TicK, I don't care for frames, but this one adds a pleasing touch to the shot. I'm more confused than usual. Is this a recent shot? I had no idea that spring has arrived in Missouri. I've seen these colors out here but am surprised that everything is blooming in mid-February. Beautiful colors and a lovely sky. A perfect picture postcard.

I expect to see more of this in the coming weeks. Wishful thinking I know. The pink, yellow and the blue sky make for a pretty pastel post.

Beautiful title and even more beautiful shot. It's really a belle. I can almost hear lovely music. Nice work, Tick.

A simple shot, and not many would 'see' it, but you pulled it off!..

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

I'll be posting a "walking tree" soon. I'll give him a tip too. This lady looks great. The one on the right is green with envy. The one on the left (dark green) is a man. Yes Tick we are both a little, shall I say, - to put it mildly :) - over imaginative?

Spring begins?
Beautiful pink and the two tall pines appear to be protecting her.

She sure has the most colorful dress on. A pretty find and a great capture as well. I like the lighting in this one Tick.

I can't make up my mind if this makes me think of Lucy, Red Buttons, or Eric The Red. Maybe Phyllis Diller! LOL. Not sure that I would want to dance with any of them at a Ball....Lucy would step on my feet, Phyllis would burn me with her cigarette, and the other two just aren't my type! LOL. Excellent shot, Tick.
