A Memorial

I did a private shoot at a show this past summer, and because of timing and circumstances, I told them that rather than paying a deposit, that they could just send it in the mail, well time has passed nd though many emails have come and gone, we still had never exchanged photos for moula, she is in university, and I remember that time of my life, money tight and stress and deadlines even tighter, so i just kind of forgot about the photos. I recieved a check and letter in the mail this morning saying that Indy had broken his cannon bone and was laid to rest this past week. He was just a young horse. I wanted to include a little something extra on her disk and thought this might be a nice way to go. Would love to hear some feedback. I think that I like #3 the best, but wanted some outside advice!

    I can only see red "x"s, are external links on?

    Sorry to hear about Indy.

    I like the first the best because of the post processing treatment and I think the text will be easier to read. I do like the font in the third (and second) and maybe if there was a bold version it'd be more readable.

    It's very nice of you to do this for her and that's a lovely quote you found.

    #1 primarily for the easier to read, and more prominent, text

    Thank you for the Help. I realized after posting how small the font was on #3. That is the bolded version, but I bumped up the overall size of the font and it's much more legible, so I did stick with the "elegant" font I sent her an email with conformation of recieving her check as I often to for my clients, but attached this in her email. She loves it

    Thanks everyone for your help!

    Number 1 is my favorite, and the whole story gave me goosebumps! :cry
