I love photography, but I have yet to learn so much more about it. The I♥Faces Blog has been a great place for me to find some information AND inspiration.As always, they're having a photography contest and this week's theme is Creative Crop. You take a photo and crop it any way you like, as long as you can still make out the face. My entry this week is one I took of Abby when she was around 3 years old. We were living in Madison, AL. at the time and it snowed one winter. I bundled her up and out the door she went. I took this picture of her as she was leaning her head back trying really hard to catch a falling snowflake on her tongue...I think she succeeded!
Here's what it looked like AFTER I cropped it....jpg)
And this is the BEFORE shot....jpg)
Be sure to check out the I♥Faces Blog...you'll be glad you did!

You did a great job and I like the way you shaded it!
Abby is just the cutest baby...yes, Abby...I said is!
Cute. I miss snow :(
Cute, and you did an excellent job cropping and blurring it. I can't wait to learn to do the special effects stuff!
Isn't she just a doll : ). I can't believe how much older she looks now. I just can't believe it.
