Life with Kaishon said...

So excited to see all the blue. I wonder what will be the most prevalant thing in all of the pictures. The beach? The sky? Can't wait to see!

Mandi said...

This was a bit of a tough one. I can't wait to see what everyone will come up with. So many possiblities.

Melinda said...

What a great theme for this week. Since all of my family members are blessed with brown or green eyes, all I could think of was blue jeans : )

Linda King (granspics) said...

I was excited to use my newborn grandson for this week's entry. Wrapping him in blue blankets and zooming in on his sweet face was pretty easy to accomplish. I know others will have more creative ideas to incorporate blue into their creations. Can't wait to see them so I can learn from them!

Nildie said...

I thought this was tough too! I had a few different photos that I wanted to use and then one that was truly calling me....that's the one that won! I've already some gorgeous blues here!!

Adeena said...

Cool theme! I had lots of "blue" pics I could have used - five children with bright blue eyes will do that ;) - but the one I chose is the one that immediately popped into my head.

Love seeing the other entries.

JAN said...

WOW! I'm shocked and speechless! Thanks so much for making me the Fan of the Week. What an honor. Thank you. I have appreciated this site from the time I found it. It has really helped me learn and grow in my photography. I'm really excited for this week's theme. It's a fun one that has so many possibilities. Thank you again!

Shannon said...

I am so excited about this week. Can you delete number 50? I am on there twice. I accidentally put your link instead of mine first try.

KazVik said...

I noticed that link #34 is confused -- it goes to someone's blog, then jumps to a page with an ad. There's another one, too, but I don't remember which one.

I Heart Faces said...

@KazVik - We just checked link #34 and it is working fine for us. Maybe it's something to do with the browser you are using? We're using Firefox and that entry is showing up beautifully.

Hope you can figure out the problem!

Alice said...

i am so excited about my entry this week! we live in florida. my daughter and i were in alabama this past week for a speech and debate conference. just before leaving for our trip, i found out that praise and worship leader lincoln brewster would be doing a concert just 2 hours from where we were staying in alabama, the night after our conference ended. yay!!! i was able to get tickets and we sat on the front row! don't ask how that happened, because i sure don't know - lol! i got some good pictures, and i really love how this blue-lit one turned out. with all the flashing lights, strobing in different colors, i got some interesting effects, and thankfully this blue one came just in time for this week's challenge. love you i ♥ faces!

Lisa Webb said...
