American in Norway: It's not about winning..

Y'all know how I am totally into
I ♥ Faces...
I play almost E V E R Y week... not inhopes of winning... although that would be nice... but for the LEARNING... I learn something new each week I play.

Everytime I post a picture, I THINK I am SATISFIED... until I start looking at some of the other entries... & then I want to KICK MYSELF... I coulda, shoulda woulda....
This week was no exception... I started thinking how I could have made my pictures better.... I like the hint of color... which I SHOULD have had in my entires... OH WELL... here is crossing my fingers they do a sepia week again sometime.... I started playing today & this is what I came up with...

This is the neighbor baby... which I could just EAT UP.... I love her chubby cheeks, dimples & that square jaw line... These pictures remind me of something from the 1950's...

I thought this little girl's eyes were almost brown... until I kept the eyecolor & added the sepia.... ( I didn't alter her eye color...) my goodness she really does have blue eyes like all of the other Norwegian babies around here...

Wish I would have left the color in my sister in laws dress...

& really I wish I would have picked this little Norwegian girl for my entry... I think I may have had a chance...at something... oh well... here is to better planning next time....
