REally lovely photo and marvelous treatment. I like how you placed your journaling on the curved lines of stitching and the classic LOVE word art bit isgreat, too.
Oh my ... the photo effect you used to recede the background and promote the foreground is amazing. The young man and his dog fairly pop off the page! I also like the painterly effects around the top and side edges, and the imaginary finish line truly taunts the viewer: "Who will finish first?"
