This is a shot of Harmony, taken recently during a walk through Veliko Tarnovo (Bulgaria), and while she looks quite cross, I think her expression was more to do with the fact that she was hot and tired rather than angry about anything.
And this is also the image I've used for this week's Mini-PSD as the toning is quite interesting - the tone was added by altering the curves for the blue and green channels.
In other news ...
I've been useless at adding new material recently, but I just haven't had time: I've been coding some new pages for our training site (we'll be posting some exciting announcements soon), Libby's back in the UK at the moment so I'm looking after all five of our younger kids, my parents came over for a visit, there was a plague of locusts, and the dog ate my homework. Other than all that though, things are pretty chilled :-)

Thanks Garry, and while we'll probably get to the 'gnashing of teeth' stage at some point soon - Libby's not back till Saturday - I suspect we'll avoid the rivers of blood ;-)

Great expression!

Love the toning and the high-key treatment.

No earthquakes, typhoons or forest fires? Even so, sounds like you are pretty busy... However, I really like this one here. The tone is great and her expression is priceless!

The old my "dog ate the homework plague of locusts story"! How many times have I heard that one from talented, creative photographers! Love the treatment of the original. Kind of a sepia toning, but softer in intensity... nice. Wait... I think I just saw a frog in my closet!

I really like your post processing work. I'm not sure if it's the post processing, her eyes or a combination of the two but those eyes really draw you in

Haha Carlos, go take a picture of the frog and post it ;).
I really like what you have done with the tone in the picture and Harmonys hair makes this picture really stand out.

In addition to the tones and to the hair, I like the focus on her eyes very much.

Very professionally done! I love the looks of a pretty little girl and the toning as well is terrific.

love the way you make H's eyes pop, the clarity is great

Absolutely great, bravo!
Great portrait. I think that too many people want a picture perfect hair and makeup but you got more character with the wind blowing. Well done!
