This is really outstanding. You have managed to capture so much feeling with the barest of lines. Simplicity is so very effective. Thank you. I am glad you went with your original idea.

Thank you Zubee there is a lot of emotion in it for me.
Thank you Joe I looked at making changes but it said all I wanted to say on it's own.
Thank you Jon
Thank you Mary Ann, I have a clearer picture with more DOF but it takes from the point.
Thank you Byron I had quite a hard week leeding up to it and I sort of let the emotions out. Truthfully I was surprised by the outcome.
Thank you Marjorie I knew I was onto something by the responses in the Critique section. I played a bit with adding more information but stuck with this because it seems so clear to me. I am glad that it has struck a chord with some others as well.
