I Heart Faces: Silhouettes



This week over at I ♥ Faces they are having a little contest for the best silhouette photo. I couldn't help thinking of this one, the afterglow of a super fun day at the lake with my siblings and our families. It is one of my all time favorites. Don't you wish you could just close your eyes and be there?

Be sure to go by and see the other entries, and maybe enter one yourself. This site has lots of great photo and editing tutorials, which I keep promising myself I will study and put into practice. Soon! But every time I start, it makes me want a new camera.
