Leif Laugh

Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face.

It's time to laugh at i heart faces.

    These are both so pretty! I love the backdrop for the photos. They're uncluttered (inlike most of my photos) and you can really concentrate on the faces!

    Both entries are wonderful, great lighting, focus, subjects, color. Your adult image is my favorite so far, I think it's really hard to get an adult to laugh and look great, she is just lovely, and the backdrop, the texture, is beautiful. Nice work!

    Beautiful fence in the back of your second shot. Adds so much texture and visual interest. And she just looks like she is laughing even HARDER on the inside too!

    both great photo's but I really like the adult entry-softness and the textures lots of great stuff going on and best of all its hard to really catch a good pic of an adult in real laughter. Nice!!
