Following on.

A pretty poor quality photo but I hadn't time to get organised & pretty much took it on the hoof.

A dance contest in Blackpool this morning & all these tiny girls were arriving with their little cases. Some of them had skimpy skirts & bare arms but this little girl was very well equipped & mum had wrapped her up warmly.

Three good things:
1. SIL has sprayed our wood burner black today, they do tend to lose their colour if you don't do them every year.
2. Our outside Christmas tree lights still work after a gap of two years!
3. Back to fabulous weather after the horror of yesterday.
It's amazing how responsible competitions like these make young people. Nice candid shot of the big day.

So young, so talented - don't think I had a talent at that age.....sums maybe! Our outside tree lights haven't worked since puppy Monty chewed through the wire!

Pat, gr8 use of selective colouring and the grainy finish to the shot gives it a bit of urban grit....my shot later is full of grain !!!

Oh she is so very tiny - and made to tote her own stuff!!! Bet she will grow up quite self-sufficient!!!

Lovely candid capture. The girl is very tiny, wonder how long she has been dancing? So, cute at that age when they preform.

@maggiemae Oh maggiemae this is not proper SC as is done by the experts...I cheat & use PickMonkey. The Focal B/w button lets you make the photo b/w but you can use a circle of colour which you can make as small or as large as you like. If you look closely here you can see the surrounding background has a touch of colour. It sometimes works OK but not the proper thing....would love a lesson in that as I do rather like SC!!
