I did this picture on Gimp, but I did not alter My Gail's picture in any way. I wanted you to see, just how beautiful she was. I lost my Gail one week before Thanksgiving Day this year, on Nov 19th. We have been in love for nearly a decade, but married only 6 short months. And I was so blessed to have had her in my life. I know, that I am not the "best" in these contests, but she stood behind me every step of the way, "it's just practice Danny, until you can get to graphic arts school" she would tell me, and a win never mattered. but she was just as much a part of this web site as I am. We laughed and awed at the entries. She critiqued all of mine. It is against the rules for me to ask, and I know that I do not have the tools or the knowledge to do some of the things you fine artists do here, but she would have loved to see us place just once. You can win next week, but for her, please vote, she wouldn't ask, but for me it would mean so much. Thank you, Danny, aka BeerSlayer
