Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head

I think you all may be noticing that I've been having fun on the I ♥ Faces website. I love digging through all my old photos and finding ones to fit the theme to enter each week. I've also loved learning how to process them, something I knew was possible, but that I'd never tried until a couple weeks ago.

Now that I won 8th place in last week's "Wonder" theme for the photo of my brother, sister-in-law and their newborn baby, I think I'm hooked for good!

This week's theme is "Black and White", which turned out to be a lot harder than it seemed until I found this picture of Adam playing outside in a quickly passing rainstorm. Transforming it into black and white only seemed to enhance all the things I already loved about it!


Besides his million dollar smile, I love the striking combination of the bright sunshine and the raindrops falling!

What a beautiful smile. Nothing like the sheer joy of running in the rain and skipping through the puddles.

I love this. The perspective adds to the playfulness - and what a great job you did capturing that great expression and the raindrops at the same time! I like your b&w - lends an almost journalistic feel to the image!

What a super moment to capture. I love how the raindrops sparkle and that he is totally oblivious to it all. Great picture!!!

Deanne said...

I love this photo! The black and white definitely enhances it. The rain drops are so defined.

What's the best way to convert to black and white to enhance the details of the photo like you did? I'm still new at all that stuff too.

Denise said...

Welcome to the iHeartFaces addiction club. I'm a member of that club also. :) This picture is really neat. I love how the raindrops stand out so clearly. I too found that I converted several pictures until I found ones that I liked how they converted. It seems like not all pictures translate so nicely as this one did. Great choice!

Krista said...
