Black and White Wednesday: Odds and Ends

Wednesday again! I have to confess, I get quite excited when it gets to be Wednesday and I realize I get to do Black&White Wednesday again. It makes for a nice change in the middle of the week! (And I'm sure looking at converted pictures (as opposed to heathen pictures) is far more interesting to the majority of you than the tips on how to write a novel synopsis I was contemplating writing today, before I remembered that it was Wednesday.)

As I promised last week, here's a shot of Joy in the same position as last week, but with shorter hair:

She looks so cute like this I might leave it chin-length until she gets old enough to start requesting different hairstyles herself!



The shadows in this picture would have made for an awesome shot if I was reading my Bible. Alas, most of my Bible-reading is done online these days (and it's mostly Bible-listening); this was fiction. I still like the way the shadow forms a cross on the pages.

There's some controversy about the next picture. I converted it to b&w but left the eyes blue, thinking it made her gorgeous eyes stand out even more clearly. Carl took one look and called it creepy. So, I present you it in all three formats, color, all b&w, and b&w with blue eyes, and leave it up to you, gentle readers. Which do you prefer?




My vote still goes for b&w with blue eyes!

the long road

Carl is a nice man, but "creepy"?

I fail to see it. I love colour manipulation like that, so i might be biased.

I don't think I've ever heard of a novel synopsis (for an unwritten novel, I mean- a basic synopsis I can do).

What does that entail? Or is it tomorrow's post? :)

This for a novel I finished last year (the Christian romance), and am just now getting around to submitting. The children's book I've been trying to get published I've always been able to submit as a whole, so this is the first synopsis I've ever needed to write. And I did learn some important tips along the way, which will probably end up as tomorrow's post!

Have a wonderful time Up North :)

I will! Thanks. I'll probably get a peek at your post tomorrow before I leave work.

I think I like the black and white best. It's got some rich warm tones that I really like.
The one with her eyes left in color is a cool picture though. Not creepy at all.
When I played with incorporating color this week, creepy crossed my mind more than once. lol

I like the manipulated picture. It's different.

I like incorporating color accents with my black & whites, but I love the all b&w best! What a gorgeous little girl :)

Men! What do they know :)

Carl tainted my view, i was thinking "creepy creepy creepy" before I even scrolled down to it.

It does make her eyes pop! I like all three.

LOVE the light on the HUGE Bible sized novel, very nice!

Love, JO
