Stone Elegance

Posted by Christine (Ellemford, United Kingdom) on 15 April 2011 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.

Nikon D60 1/4000 second F/5.6 ISO 800 247 mm (35mm equiv.)

I'm very much an amateur photographer. I live in the hills of the Scottish Borders which has fantastic flora and fauna, as well as wonderful light.

Elegance is right. I like the patina on the stone and the great DOF

Quite a charming lady. In her case, age has been quite a positive and enhancing factor.
Would that we could all do so well with the rigors of age. :-)

Agree with the elegance - all too easy to make statuary ponderous and solemn but it did not happen here ! Lovely find.
