Another Scarecrow...Isn't She Lovely? Hmmm...

Posted by Laurie (New Jersey, United States) on 28 September 2007 in Art & Design.

Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Personally I found this one a little disconcerting.

This is another one from the scarecrow festival competition in Peddler's Village in Lahaska PA. I may have one or two more from the series. I haven't decided whether or not to post them yet.

@Bron: Thanks. That's pretty funny, very appropriate for this time of year. I hope it's a big hit for them.

Not the usual subject for a scarecrow. All that hay coming out of her bodice is a bit strange. I do like your shot of this one.

28 Sep 2007 6:31am

@photowannabe: Thanks. The whole thing was a little bit creepy, but definitely worth taking a picture of.

Dimitrios from ATHENS, Greece

ankush vimawala from eugene, United States

awesome shot Laurie! yes, she is lovely, i love how you have composed the image, with the power lines leading to her face. very nice.

28 Sep 2007 7:25pm

@ankush vimawala: Thanks. The scarecrows were mostly on poles making them quite tall so you had to shoot up at them, but I thought that it was quite appropriate for this one.

@Dawn Sutherland: Thanks. It was kind of creepy but I loved the light!

Doug from Long Beach, United States

I particularly like the light hitting half of the face and the power lines drawing the flow of the shot straight to it.
