Dramatic B&W

I must start out by expressing my bliss, 

 my photo being IN THE TOP 10  last challenge !!!

I am humbled and Oh so thrilled to have been chosen.

Thank you !!!

This weeks challenge is about
dramatic B & W conversions

I had a very hard time sorting and finding just one this round

(I had many I loved)

I decided on a photo of my miracle baby
born 18 months after our daughter....
did I mention
my tubes were tied during her birth??
Pregnancy is dangerous (life threatening)
without blood thinning injections twice daily for 11 months
since we beat the odds twice and had a million dollar family
(boy and girl) we felt blessed
our family complete,,,
God had other plans than our agenda
WE were given a gift ... a miracle baby boy

(not so little anymore) 3 years has flown by

 it is his  sparkly eyes in this image that make me melt,
his fly away curls, his innocence,
I love it so I hope you will too!

Enjoy

and do come over to see all the stunning work

“Focusing on Angles” (this weeks challenge)

                          I love shooting from different angles

here's this weeks entry

my daughter


I MADE #6 in the TOP 10!!!!!!!

Concerning this week’s entries, Brad wrote: “This was a very hard week to judge. There were a lot of great images to choose, many of which could have easily made the top 10. In the end, I had to find a way to narrow them down further, so I started looking for the most creative use of angles, the best lighting, and the best compositions.

every week there's a challenge (a new skill to work on)

I thank iheartfaces for that:)
