A sad baby and another try at "things"

I snapped this one this evening while Cassidy played on her scooter and Chloe and I were in the yard. Chloe was having a bit of a meltdown so I quickly snapped a picture before grabbing her. She was ready for a nap, for sure. Does this crop look too centered or anything? I am finding the whole cropping thing to be challenging. I can't get used to not cropping in camera like with film. I've ruined the chances of getting a nice 8x10 on quite a few shots because I haven't left any "breathing room" in the in camera image. So now I'm trying to step back a bit and allow myself to crop in post processing, but it's still hard to get used to. Another thing I'm working on.



And here's another lame attempt at photographing non-living things.



I just loved her expression in this one, so I had to share it. She is such a sweet and funny little girl.
