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...

I feel the same way ... I enter nearly every week (also not really expecting to win) thinking I've taken a reasonably good photo until I start looking around the other fantastic entries. (Like yours!)
However, there have been many times I have been surprised that some of those entries have been overlooked (eg. yours) for others which (to me) don't seem nearly so good. Have you noticed that a lot of the 'winning' photos have very little colour or contour in the faces? They looked rather washed out to me - or maybe it's just how it looks on my monitor?
So the highlight of my i♥faces association was when they used one of my photos in a collage - that's my little Mousie on the far top right of the top collage you've included in this post.
