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!!! #6149877

You deserve a medal on this one. Did you do this in PS? I have a 2 year old grandson and would love to learn this process. #6317533

Teresa Norris August 15, 2008

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

Hi Teresa! congrats on this beautiful and unique POTD :) is really great... #6318155

Hi Daniella! As you know, your comments always mean so much to me...thank you!!! #6318214

Teresa Norris August 15, 2008

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! #6318515
