This is a picture of my dad from WW II and my son, today both marines. My dad has passed on long ago but would be so proud of him. I made this to show my son that he is behind him.

I love this. Very sentimental. Your dad would be very proud as should your son be. Beautifully presented.
I seem to go thru your gallery alot as you've noticed...it's just lovely. I love your creativeness and imagination, which I guess go hand in hand.
You definately are an inspiration to me. Just wish I could do half as good as you.
Can I ask..how do you make the mist/smoke in many of your images..very striking. #3958330
