I took my granddaughter to the park today. She didn't want to go on the slides or the swings or the spring loaded twirly things. She just wanted to play in the dirt. Bright afternoon sun, so did lots of playing with filters.

The processing you've done on this somehow brings out the expressivness of your granddaughter

I hate it when people comment on how to redo a side challenge entry, but if it was overexpposed, what if you just made it high key? Just a thought. She's adorable. Just like when you give a kid a present and they'd rather play with the box! ROFL

It's funny isn't it, people spend loads of money on toys and stuff for kids and their more than happy just playing in the dirt :)

I'm with Robert, the processing doesn't appeal to me in this shot. I love her eyes, her position, and the look on her face, but I want a nice soft process for such a cute girl.

Her little socks are so cute.

Its fun to play with new layering styles, I find myself doing the same thing. While I like the layering style, I think in this case your grandaughter would look better as is. I like the look on her jeans and shirt but you might try masking the layer style over the face to get a more natural look.

i love the pose, her lovely dirty face and those cute-as little hands .. her eyes are amazing .. & she really stands out from the background .. but i sort'v feel the same as robert .. i'm not that taken with the very smooth look on your gorgeous granddaughter .. its all a matter of opinion and i'm sure there'd be heaps of ppl who would love this process tho .. .. & playing is fun .. its like kids learn from play and so do we .. !! ..:)

Oh dear; the picture has intense, big-eye charm, but haven't you sort of negated it with the strange, plasticy surface the filter is laying on things? Still, it's good to experiment. You kept the untouched original, right? (wink)
