i Heart Faces- My first try!



I found a cool blog this week (http://iheartfaces.blogspot.com) Every week they have a themed picture contest. They're always of faces, but different styles, editing tricks, etc.

I decided to enter just for fun. I'm sure I wont win, but I thought I would try it out. :)

This weeks theme is "Creative Cropping". You have to do a blog post and then link it back on their site. That's why I'm posting this.

They have a "kid" category and "adult". I have WAY more pictures of kids-- (siblings, cousins and such)-- so I'm entering the "kid" category with a picture of my little brother Evan.


Here's the cropped image I'm submitting for my entry:



And the original un-cropped image:



Not a huge difference, but I think even the subtle change brings a lot more attention to his face.

Again, I doubt I have a chance of winning, but I'm loving this site and wanted to try it out. :)

That's a great image even SOOC, but the way you cropped it just makes him "pop."
