Description

Another shot of my daughter, Jo, from my birthday a couple of weeks ago. We spent the day at the pool :) I loved how her hair was just stringy and wild after being wet, so I took quite a few shots of this :)

Contrast added, dodged and burned, converted to black and white using Bs Vanilla Effect.

Thank you all for looking! Have a wonderful Monday!
