Frustration

This afternoon my kids were playing the restruant game. Erica was the waiter and she was collecting everyone's order. Apparently I wasn't playing the game properly because all I wanted to do was take a photo of her. In the end we both won. She got my order and I got the photo. the pic isn't real sharp and a bit grainy - but I kinda like it like that. I desaturated the second one using the technique posted on the message board afew months back. I must apologise to the poster, but i can't rember who it was. Thank you anyway.

How fun is that! My daughter used to do that too and bring us play food to eat. Great shot.

Too fun!! IMO - it looks a little bright. When you desaturated it - her face, neck & shirt became a little blown - lost what little shadow was there so it became kinda flat. Maybe try to adjust the levels some...just my opinion. Great emotion!

OMG my DD did this all the time when she was like 5 or 6 - w/pad & pen in tow - always "Mom what would you like for dinner" and "to drink" LOL! So cute

Oh.My.Gosh! That look is just priceless!!! And I had to laugh when you said you weren't playing the game correctly, because I hear that same thing from my kiddos!

I'm glad you got the shot though!!! It's GREAT!

Love that look you caught. And I like the second desaturated photo - the pink pen really stands out.

Is that frustration or mischievous? LOL! What a cutie and what a great photo. I like the colors in the 2nd one.

That game sounds like something I would have done...too fun!

I like the "normal" color for this one and that grass in the background is so nice and green!

Thanks for the comments. Lindsey I will try adjusting the desat. one to see how it looks. Erica is one strong willed little girl, you should see her when she gets really mad.
