I'm Cute - It's in the EOTB!

Thinking about the EOTB37 theme when I took this shot, and the lines and shadows in bw-fn-6 when I was processing. I was really pleased with the eye being so clearly in focus, using a shallow DoF with my macro. Shadow is fairly light because it was late in the day without a strong sun. And then, for the title I thought about six word stories.
