 My grandmother actually died july 30, 2004, and I need do this to feel a little more confortable. I dont expect to win or have a good rank. Thanks to all.

Very touching. Death is the most common event for all life forms but when a loved one dies it is in a way once in a blue moon event. Thank whatever-you-believe-in it remains just that!

Indeed a unique tribute! Across time and place, here comes commiseration. May her memory live with you till the blue yonder.

I liked the concept a lot, but thought the composition wasn't really there. I don't claim to be an expert/pro, just how I seen it. Maybe a different angle or zoomed out a little....

THIS IS A VERY TOUCHING PHOTO. IT SHOWS EMOTIONS OF SADNESS, AND WRITING IN BLUE HELP CREATE THE MOOD OF THE LETTER. GOOOD JOB

This seems a little too melodramatic for me, but I'm assuming it has personal sentiment?

The photograph seems to send conflicting messages...one of mourning and melancholy, the other of a happy, bright blue pen. Neat idea, though.
