London dedication

Description

This is a manip which really started as a normal photo-retouch, but became something more emotional than I had anticipated.

It is a dedication to those who died in the London terror the 7th of July.
The cross is directly dedicated to those who died, the lightbeam upwards resembles the path to heaven and the glowing stars resemble souls being brought up to heaven.
The bottom composite was originally a seperate deviation I was going to upload, but makes more sense in this context.
It was supposed to be called "Not coming home" because of its emotional impact. :)
The wide-open white doorway can work as a symbol for a gateway to heaven.
I chose black and white, because it is more focus on the emotional aspect.

So, I hope you all like it and its symbolizm, if there is anything else you would want to know about this manip then just go ahead and ask. :)
