 Twinkie Dee Star: //www.twinkiedeestar.com/

I was at our local carnival taking photos that might work for one of the challenges this week and Twinkie caught me. She was very good-humored about it and made sure I wasn't making her look fat. Then she gave me a little interaction and that was all I needed.

Her expression is great, I think it fits the title perfectly (I found the title just searching through the forums). The lighting sucked (shade and speckled light), and I fixed some with curves, but couldn't get everything. Since she was working, I didn't take a lot of shots, so I went with this one.

Big regret I couldn't clone out that lens flare on her nose (nose flare?).

Scary clown! Nice pose - Some fill flash would have gone down well here.

beautiful colour but a bit of catch light in eyes would make this a winner
