We were on vacation and staying with a friend. We took a bunch of pictures. One I really liked was of his daughter. The picture works best converted to black and white, but I was missing her blue eyes. So I sweetened the blue a little so it would stand out in the black and white and used a mask on the black and white layer for her eyes to come through. As I looked at it I thought a crop might be interesting so I cropped the picture. As you can see it is an unconventional crop but I think it works. Let me know what you think, leave a comment.







And here is a version without the sweetening of the blue, this is her natural eye color.



Camera: Nikon D80 with the Nikon AF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 lens, 1/200 sec at f/9, 70 mm focal length, fill flash, post processing described above.
