Mother

That's really good, Brice; Thanks! The eyes are much better on that one!

Ariana - Thanks a lot for the compliments and the feedback! I will definitely try and take advantage of available light when I can, next time. It was a candid shot, believe it or not my Mother can't stand having her photo taken so I had to grab it when I could! I don't think she would have posed for more than a few seconds, lol. I really appreciate your advice, thanks again

A good start! As you mentioned, you can really see the "love for life" in her eyes. I like the edit by Brice.

Ok, I've taken everybody's comments on board, and I've looked at what Brice did, and here is my final edit:

Terrific

Oh yeah, I love the final edit. Her spirit really shines through in the photo. She looks incredibly caring with an easy spirit.

Thanks for sharing it.

I like it, but even more than the pic........Your mom has done a wonderful job raising you obviously, What you said about her almost brought a tear to my eye. Your mom is also lucky.........To have such a good hearted son as yourself.

Thanks for all your comments; I'm really proud of the final edit. I can't wait until I have some more time off work to take some more pictures!

Thanks again.
