Looking lost
"...adults are just obsolete children, and the hell with them." - Theodor Seuss Geisel
I caught this little girl with a very lost look on her face between a lot of moment of giggling and smiling and having a fun time as can be attested by this previous post of her. I was about to send the file to digital oblivion before I started playing with it. This photograph is post processed with grain added and over-burns and color de-saturation to the limit. I thought of cleaning up the grain but then decided to leave the shot as is.
What I am wondering is if I should have done a tighter crop of her face and lost some of the balloon and maybe even her shirt.
On a side note, I think I am going to scrub the Google maps object along the right and go back to just linking to the maps page for the location of the shot. I can't seem to get it to appear in any RSS readers. If anyone is seeing this in their RSS reader then let me know. Right now I think everyone just gets a big ol' blue square.

Amazing photo. Kids are just so incredible to look at...and thank goodness. I can't imagine an adult in the same pose. Beautiful work!
Michele sent me this morning. Hope you have a great day!
