If you chance to meet a frown...

A few things I've learned through my participation in I ♥ Faces over the last several weeks:

1. I have A LOT to learn about photography
2. I have even more to learn about editing
3. Photography has the potential to be a very expensive hobby
4. I'm totally addicted to I ♥ Faces


On Sundays we often try to go on long walks or hikes. This particular Sunday found us at Great Falls, a beautiful spot on the Potomac river. While Ellie loves being outside, this day she was a little upset that she was missing her nap to be there.

I loved how pretty she looked still all dressed up in her church clothes, with the sunlight on her face and hair. The big giant pout and tears glistening in her eyes is so out of character for her that I'm sad to admit that it just cracks me up whenever I see this picture.

Be sure to go check out I ♥ Faces for other cute pouting faces this week and to enter your own!

    Very good!

    I agree with your list of 4 above, I am in the same boat. Have you tried Picnik? I am addicted to their editing features.
