Sacrifice ...

What was sacrificed in the making of this portrait ... behind and to the left of this image is a gorgeous grove of huge trees laden with brightly hued fall-colored leaves and HALF DOME!! But to have included them as the backdrop for my son's portrait would have had him facing the sun and severely squinting. So I chose a beautiful picture of Littlest Dude over the stunning backdrop. All for the sake of the Autumn Beauty Photo Challenge at I Heart Faces. :-)

    I love that this was an unexpected fall photo being blue. It was a welcome change after all these reds, oranges and yellows.
