Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States

This so reminds me of the "look" back around 1966, when Dylan and the Byrds and other "cool" bands began to wear what they called "granny" (sun)glasses. This shot is timeless.

A little a la John Lennon here!! You're doing me proud girl!! Your pp abilities are definitely growing by leaps and bounds!! Very good job with the b/w conversion and then adding the coloured glasses. Perfect!! Not to mention the actual photograph itself... Fantabulous!! (and your kid's not bad looking either... good gene's eh?!!)
