Theme: Creative Crop

My friend Sandy has been participating in photo contests at iheartfaces. I love looking at all the pictures and getting ideas. There are some VERY talented people out there! I'm not sure that I qualify for participating--I'm just not all that creative but I do think that I sometimes, accidentally, get a good shot here or there. I felt like I had a pretty good photo for this week's contest so I thought I'd give it a try. Here is my entry:

This is my before shot:
This is after cropping and a little editing:
As I said, there are many talented people and some great photos so head on over to their site if you'd like to see some or enter one yourself!

Very cute. The black 'frame' around the edge is a nice touch. Going b&w was a good decision too.
