nice expression good focus but lots of noise. try noise ninja or some other noise reduction tool.
Beleive me when I say I am only a novice on software and photo editing. I have however been around cameras and computers for decades...started in computers in 1966 in college.
I think this picture has great potential because of its movement and almost symbolic quality of strength....so I tried out a Russian Space program on it...See what ya think...It was fun...for me anyway..
