Guys these are totally awesome!!!! I didn't expect you guys would go in and work on the image, but wow!!! I love them all!!!!!! Yes, Cindy, I AM thrilled! you remembered, Michelle!!! Wivelrod: I'm sure it probably was over-exposed. I mean it was really a lousy image. The things you did...i have no idea about...don't use Photoshop. I do know gausian blur though. Can i keep these for myself? I really do love them all!!!! Let me know!!!! thanks again so much! hugz, sheila P.S. I do think i like it better with all that noise taken out and a tigher crop. and i like your all's framing better too!
