  Ellen, thank you so much!!!
Debbra, thank you, too! I used a bleach bypass just lightly, dry brush filter, and a light cross-process. I also increased the contrast to bring out the reflection more and sharpened. I

Again, thank you both for your kind comments...I appreciate them so much!

  Joannie, you totally made my day! My grandson Elijah is turning three this month, and was just dancing his own little dance in the puddles in his new shoes. So simple, but it just made my heart smile to watch him. I really wanted to remember that sweet little moment where nothing existed for him except his own joy! Thank you for understanding that, and for your comments!!!

  Joy, Colleen, Robin...many thanks to you all!! I truly appreciate your kind words. It means so much!

Robin, I just used some filters that are in PS: dry brush and a little bit of poster edges. I also increased the saturation.

  Robin, I wrote the wrong thing about what I used on this photo. I had worked on a couple of similar ones at the same time, but actually on this one I used a bleach bypass just lightly, dry brush filter, and a light cross-process. I also increased the contrast to bring out the reflection more and sharpened.

Duh. Sorry about that!
