Joy

Just thought I would share this image with you all and the three different stages of editing I took on this. The first image is the original. The progression starts from there and ends up with a final. As you may figure, you may not agree with the final version, but there really is no such thing as final. Each image from the start was a step to get to the next image.

The last one makes my eyes water. I think if the eyes were sharp the 3rd image would be very nice.
