I love my black and edit this week! I've been practicing with straightening photos using the "Straighten" tool in pse. Obviously, I haven't quite perfected the technique, but I like that I can create a unique angle to make a photo pop more. Which of my edits do YOU like better? To see more edits, click here.

I saw that photo on the faces blog and thought, "eeeh, no idea what to do with that one" but you did a really nice job... I wasn't sure whether the focus should have been on the baby's face or on the foot, but since you cut off a little bit of the foot, it looks like you focused on the baby's face in the background which is really interesting. And you're right - the B&W is really nice - the rotation creates visual interest that looks really nice and takes the focus off the fact that 3 out of 4 of the original corners have a lighter wedge which made the photo seem unbalanced, but you took care of that and it looks great. Nice! (And side note: the B&W looks really interesting because the fact that the face is in the background and unfocused AND in B&W makes it look almost like a 4-D ultrasound image, but the foot in the foreground takes it into the outside world. I know that has NOTHING to do with photography or with editing/design, but it's an interesting look.)
