First upload to this website, apologies if I missed a tag or tagged something incorrectly. I commissioned this image 3 years ago, and thought it was a little cool when I saw it uploaded on this website. After the artist finished my commission they had sent me a version of the image without the filter. For a good while I had thought it a good idea to keep this version of it to myself, to say I had a unique version of the image. But I don't really feel like that anymore, and so I decided to upload the version the artist sent me back in Sept. 2017 today.
I'm also unsure if Facebook is an accepted source to prove it was a commission, but the artist's Facebook post regarding it is Here

That's a neat story, what made you decide to change your mind when posting work you commssioned?

There's a neat story to how I have the image but not as much as to why I decided to upload it. Mainly it was time that made me change my mind, and my perception of the image over the years has changed several times over.
Originally it was commissioned as a birthday present to someone else, however I'm no longer on good standing with said person, and as well it has been several years since I've communicated with them. So my perception of the image was originally loving it quite a bit, to almost never wanting to see it again, and of recent I've finally begun to warm up to it again after fully moving on from the personal connection the work originally had.
There's also smaller reasons such as "I think it would be nice for people to be able to see a different version of the work" and "Personally I've always liked this version better.", however mainly it's due to my perception of the work itself changing over time.
