6. Happy (early) Birthday to your beloved husband, my dear Diamond_Dog!

What a perfect gift!

Super composition and execution!

[Diamond_Dog]

9. Thank you, CaliforniaPeggy!

I combined two photographs so it was tricky. I’m never totally satisfied with what I do, but I know he wanted something like this, so I hope he likes it!

He practically never wanders into my Art room so it’s not that hard. After I spray it with fixative I will put it out of sight, though.
