Description
And, indeed it was!
This is a heavily-postworked photo of my father on Christmas Eve reading to two of his granddaughters. This was especially significant for all of them, as the girls are growing up in a Jewish household, and this is the first time they've ever really celebrated Christmas.
Postwork was done in Photoshop CS2, photo was taken by me.
Thanks for taking a look, it's good to finally be back online again!
