I Heart Faces - Silhouette

When we were at the playground this week, I was frustrated while looking through my lens watching Hannah climb through a tube. I was grouchy because it was so dark in the tube and so much light was behind her that there was no way I could get a shot of her goofy expressions as she climbed through. Then I had a light bulb go off in my head. "Duh! There's a silhouettes category at I ♥ Faces next week! This would work!" So I took several more shots, turned down the exposure, put it into black and white, and this is what I came up with. If you click on the photo you'll be able to view a larger size that allows you to see the details of the scratches in the hard plastic playground equipment.
