Description


-----
On the day I was photographing a LOAD of children playing on the street and sidewalk of this urban Philadelphia block, this 11-year-old beauty seemed preoccupied. She was not posing, but aware of the camera pointing her way.
----
I used the new Topaz plugin called "Restyle It" to re-tone black and white conversion I had done with Nik Silver Efex Pro. Both pleased me, but perhaps this one a bit more.
---
Used my "Walking Lens," the Tamron 28-300 on the 5DMIII.
