Figuring it out!

I have been starring at this image for, what seems like, forever. I have tried to work on it and will do a little then close it back down because it just isn't working right. Then I tried adding a texture to it and it came to life! I love ah-ha moments just allow work to finally come together!

So here also is the before and after so you can see the difference. I have found quite a few photographers on facebook that show their behind the scenes or give examples like this, before and after. I love their courage to show their work unretouched and I find it very inspiring.
