This little fairy figurine sits on a glass ball, sadly not featured very well here. I have sat her on the rim of a plant pot which is overhung by a heavily flowering camellia. The red sparkles are from a red and black metallic tulle waved in front of the camera. I had shots in which the red sparkles worked better than this, but unfortunately the fairy was less sharp. I wanted to do more of these shots but the rain came back, and the sparkle only works with bright sun.

Nice use of props and great colors here. I am a bit distracted by all of the hexagon reflections.

There is something very pleasant in the muted colours and bokeh in this picture - 7

So pretty! I like the round red medallions... they add a deal of mystery:)

You've captured a great bokeh effect from something that doesn't look like there was enough DoF to achieve this. Also a lovely use of reds.

It's difficult to take a picture of a toy/statue/figurine and make it look real and professional. This is one of the better images with this kind of subject matter that I've seen. The colors and the bokeh make this image so much better. Well done.
