I've had many suggestions to crop this shot differently and, I must say, this angle is a bit more flattering than just the centered version.

I thought this would be a small way to commemorate all of those who lost their lives this day 10 years ago in the 9/11 attacks made on the United States. May God bless them and their families.

"Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. "Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" -Emma Lazarus

I like the vertical format much better. A wonderful dedication to those that lost their lives on 9/11/01 & for their family / friends as well. Beautiful work, Maria.
