“Cotton” and “Candy”….now there are 2 words that don’t go together!  If something is cotton, should you really be thinking about eating it?  And so it is for me and cotton candy….I’ve never really acquired a taste for it.  I can see where the name came from as it does look like a giant cotton ball in a bag or on a stick.  But the taste and texture just don’t appeal to me.  Not so for this darling little girl that I photographed at the Valley Forge Kennel Club Dog Show.  She was riding high on her dad’s shoulders and was munching away on a bag of pink cotton candy while she watched all of the adorable dogs.  This image was processed using two Topaz Adjust presets – sketch color and simplify – plus various tweaks in between.
