After the basic edits I played with different editing options for getting rid of or at least masking the noise in both photos. 

I have often wondered what the key is to sharp photos shared on the web and otherwise. It's unsharp mask and Luminosity blending mode on a duplicate layer. Ashley and Jill, the challenge just keeps getting better and better!

Thanks Julie. I agree about the noise but for some reason I was determined to reduce the noise.
