This week's I Heart Faces theme is Creative Crop, and we're allowed to share our original "before" image and our cropped "after" image. I'm entering the little Beast playing at the park for my kids entry. I tried a square crop on this because I thought it complimented the circular "frame" of the tunnel window. I also played around ALOT with post-processing just for fun. Critiques are encouraged, thanks!
Here is the original:

beautiful photo...what a cutie pie!
That's a great crop! There's so much that is missed in the original. Zooming in bring out all the adorable features of your little "beast". :) The big beautiful eyes, shy smile, "mommy look at me" expression...all hard to focus on in the original but just jumps off the page at you in the cropped version. Well done!
Love this crop!!! He is adorable and you captured such a great expression!
So stinkin' cute! I love how cropping it really showed off the emotion within his eyes and smile. Great job!
It's amazing how much detail in the face that you miss before the crop. Your crop really brings the attention to his sweet face.
OH my gosh...this is adorable! I love that you cropped it square!
...just joined your blog frog! :)
