Thanks, you're making me blush! But to be honest, I'm pretty pleased with it myself.

Terrific work, and really captures spirit of the story.

Thanks, I was hoping to convey the contemplative mood and intimacy between the two of them, and I'm glad to hear you think I succeeded.

Thank you, I'm so glad you like it! Especially after having made you wait so long for it.

If there's anything you'd like to see changed, please let me know. I could easily change the size and the text. I also thought maybe I should have made the background a bit lighter -- can you still even make out that it's Père Lachaise? (Then again, it *is* supposed to be night.)

ETA: OK, so I just went ahead and made an alternative version with a slightly lighter background. Just see which one you like best! You can find it HERE.

ETA2: Sorry, I can't seem to stop making alternatives. Here's another one, this time without Jim as "the man in the moon". This is my personal favourite so far, but of course it's your choice! Latest version is HERE.

Oh hells bells, I love them all.

I think the ones with the slightly lighter background on the trees have the edge, just to give a bit more contrast - but I love both Jim M in the moom and the one of him looking all moody as a full size face. I think I'm going to snag them both because they're both wonderful. The other one is too, but those two both really get under my skin

Hugs you again

I agree, the original version was a bit too bland with the overly dark background. Guess I was a bit too quick with posting that one! And snag away, they're all yours :-)
