My Baby Girl

This is a shot of my daughter (and parts of the rest of my family!) at a ballgame.
The sooc shot is obviously terrible! Lighting, grain, composition, you name it.

So I cropped, adjusted levels and converted to black & white. I also lightened her eyes, which I think is the best part of this edit.
