Poignant message, but not sure much chopping involved of source?

You are exactly right MELLOW, I did NO chopping of source other then color correction in certain areas... I'm old Catholic school and didn't want my knuckles rapped with a ruler.. I just wanted to make a contribution and the idea was in my head and I couldn't get it out thanks for all your wonderful comments (I did fade his face into the back ground but he ended up looking like a very severe case of acne and he lost all his innocence .. thanks a gain everyone

while the thought is nice, we still need to remember this is a photoshopping contest and the rules of stock photos. Im careful about entering something that close to my heart as I get upset if someone is negative about an image, so whatever is said just take it with a pinch of salt goodluck anyway.

Olivia! Your comments are ALWAYS honest and from the heart... thanks you sweetie

Your welcome gorgeous big hugs mwah

Very Patriotic...
