I ♥ Faces, week 9: Creative Crop



It's Monday again and the theme for I ♥ Faces this week is: 'Creative Crop'. I chose this picture of Juliet where she is on Sheffield Beach, South Africa with her twin sister. This was Thanksgiving weekend 2008 and I was trying to find a good shot for our Xmas greeting. I love how Juliet's face glows from the sun, so soft and warm...





First one the creative crop, second the original. The sun was setting but it was still strong, so the girls had a bit of red eyes from looking into the sun, for the crop we edited this a bit. (thanks Suzy!)

Check the I ♥ Faces website out, it has some magnificent cropped photos, great for inspiration & ideas! And participate yourself, it is a fun way to start the week :-)

Have a wonderful Monday!
