Four Generations

This is the third (out of four possible) of my Mother's four genereration images.

In this one, she is the Great Grandmother. The other two were as the Child and the Mother. She missed out on the Grandmother one :-(

The really nice thing is that it was taken as part of the celebration for her (and my father's) Diamond Wedding anniverary!

Some Photoshop work to make it look like it was taken in a studio

.....................to be honest, took out all the party reveling going on in the background!! :-D
