The tears of a blue-eyed angel- a very striking image. Notice how the background, I assume it is a blanket, suggests a wing peeking over her shoulder. Very well done.

Write a commentI'm having a hard time leaving this pic.The tension in the muscles at the corners of her mouth and above her eyes are incredible.Sometimes people need a good cry and can't manage it.this pic will do it.Congratulations again.

I saw my daughter starting to cry, while I was taken photos of a bird outside. When I saw her tears coming out of her eyes, I made a couple of photos, and hugged her after it!Editing
It's a RAW photo, I worked a little on it in Lightroom 4. This photo is one of the first photos I made in my whole life with a real camera! I Took 4 lessons to learn the base of df, ISO, and all the other things I never used before!In my camera bag
