Wordless Wednesday: Little Girl

Many of the children in Greece are poor and busk for money from tourists, we saw many playing accordions like this little girl in Athens too. I edited this image in Adobe Camera Raw ( although you don't get all the features that ACR offer to raw file users, you can still bring a jpg file into it), cropped the image and did a bit of selective colour editing.
