Caught this wonderful expression at yet another horse show. This child was less than enthused by the judges opinion. Full color was good, decided to play with the color a bit. I felt that color fade really brought her out. Your thoughts?

    I don't know if this effect was intended... but it almost seems like there are very vibrant colors in the lower portion of the picture, and as you go further up, it turns to black and white. Almost indicating the changing of her mood. Again, I could be reading too far into it.. but I like the effect! It puts an emphasis on her mood and face. Anyone else notice this? ne_nau.gif

    Thanks everyone for the nice comments. I think her expression is just priceless! One of those I'm sure we have all done/felt before:D . I played around with the color and decided the fade was the best way to go with this particular one. Set the mood, left the background (horses) without being to distracting and really brought her out nicely *I think*.

    Thank you again~
