Golden Ornament

This is one of three treasures that go on our tree every year.

Taken with a manual Prime 50mm lens and a Macro Ext ring.

I still have three glass ornaments in this shape that came over from England with us in 1966.

  8. Pretty colours! The DOF worked well here. Aren't Christmas ornaments always the best thing for shallow DOF? :)
