Thanks For The Southern Cross (Paul)

Hi All

Earlier this month i posted a request to anyone on this site if i could borrow an image of the Southern Cross.

The image was to be used for a special photo i was to make up for a dear friend of ours who had just passed away at age 32, leaving behind a wife, and a 4 week old new born dauhgter, named Charley

I was certainly a sad affair, however she, his wife asked if i could do something with his image so that his memory could be with her, and visable to her each time she looked at the photo, his name was Davydd

Paul, (Moderator) plus other members offered some images, and i settled for the one Paul sent me. (Thanks Paul)

Anyway this is how it turned out.

Cheers Leon
