Creating Room to write with Photos ~ Ali Edwards

Ali Edwards weekend topic today was Creating room to write with photos.  Which was basically teaching you to look at white space on a photo and use it to tell the story.  You can either do this when taking the photo, by placing your subject in a certain part of the frame or when editing your photo you can crop it to give yourself some "white space " to journal the story or to add in a title.  I did the second option and when i edited it in Photoshop i was amazed at how different it made the photo look.. and really accentuated Sam's emotions in the photo.
So the first shot is the original photo straight from my camera.....

The second shot i changed the colour of the photo to Black and White... and in the 3rd shot i cropped the photo to create myself some blank Space to add in title..Amazing!
