Inspiring Photo: - Feather Fun

- Feather Fun -

Uploaded: September 22, 2007 03:09:28

Description

My niece, Melanie and her
favorite blue feathered fan, lol!
She wanted a picture with this fan but
couldn't stop giggling- so she concealed
that little smile of hers.
Taken yesterday outdoors-macro setting
Image has been desaturated in full then
resaturated in the eyes and fan.
Thanks for looking!
:)
