  Chastity, Jeff, Wende, Janessa, Denise, Lavone, Sylvia, Amy, Terry, and Kim thank you all so much for the wonderful comments!

Janessa and Denise, I took this shot with all natural lighting and then removed the color, cropped, and adjusted the brightness, contrast, and levels in Photoshop. Thank you again for all your lovely comments! You have all made my day! :)
