An accident of lighting

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.

Oh that just turned out splendid.
How lucky of you for an accident.
I'm not so lucky with my accidents.
