Thank you to

mrsr58 who turned me on to this amazing screen cap by

homeofthenutty of Sam from 6x03.

M did a beautiful photoshop of the cap. And I just could not get the image out of my head. I don't know whether to thank SPN's director of photography, whoever editted 6x03, and/or Jared himself. This image is so compelling that I couldn't stop myself from playing with it either.

After doing over a dozen versions, I found myself thinking the word "sacrifice" as I worked on the image. That's what came to mind for me. Sam sacrificing himself so that Dean could have a "normal, apple-pie life."

As you can see below. I did way too many versions of this. And I can't decide which I like the best.
