I hate dating. You need to be holding a sign that says "I'm the one" so I can know who you are!!!!

I agree, The first one is beautifully done, there are some things in the 2nd that I like, (the symmetry, the shape created in the negative space, the gradient from dark to light in the background..) yet something I don't quite like, can put my finger on right now..but it is nice too

I will catch you if you stumble, help you if you fall, raise you up in joyous celebration, and stand by your side through it all.

She is just too amazing. She'll without a doubt be the type of monarch that one remembers if only (not only the length), but the sheer amount of changes that happened during her reign.

The first one is amazing -- I was surprised that wasn't in the Royal Collection already --
The second one -- interesting but hard to believe it's from the same artist, imo.
