Shot this during a 16 person family reunion shoot. This is a sweet little six year old girl with absolutely stunning blue eyes (similar to her little brother that Tim shot and entered into this challenge). Even with the dazzling blue, I felt this was a stronger image in b&w. I anticipate that this will end my run of fourteen 6+ scores since DPC doesn't generally reward this type of portrait but I like it so it's going in.
Shot in RAW - RAW conversions. Photoshop - curves, brightness/contrast, b&w adjustment layer with the Bitchin B&W action, healing brush, dodge/burn, blur, crop, vignette, save for web
