An accident of lighting

[jo]

Here's a picture of baby Kayla with my niece. I liked the look of the morning light reflecting off Bev's t-shirt and lighting Kayla's face, but the background was distracting.

Another case of cropping and stripping off the background.

Oh Jo that is perfect. It has much more impact with the black background. Love it!

Thanks, Pauline. I know the photography purists would tsk-tsk about the t-shirt being blown out, but I liked it.

[Pauline]

Ah well I didn't notice. Too busy noticing the faces! :D
