I ♥ Faces Weekly Challenge

The photo challenge this week at I Faces is all about having a reflection of a face in your photo. Since I did not have any photos in my archives that fit this theme, I decided to have a fun photo shoot with my niece when she was in for a visit last weekend.

Because the weather was so nice and sunny, I set up a mirror outside and took the picture of her reflection in it. She is such a beautiful young lady that it was easy to get a good photo of her, but I did have to play a bit with the angles and the lighting. This is the one that I chose to enter into this weeks challenge. (There is such a sweet innocence in her youthful face and yet true wisdom in her eyes.) I desaturated the color just a bit to obtain a gentle, soft feel.

Love and hugs to my niece Danielle for being so cooperative! You can see other great entries at I Faces.

  3. I like this shot, but maybe it would have been even better if you would have captured her face in one of the squares.
    But it's still a nice shot.

  4. Thanks for the feedback Suki! I still have lots to learn! My niece has such a long neck and I wanted to get the flower she was holding into the photo as well...
