That's beautiful Maria

My sister in law likes every picture I show to her so if I want to hear something nice no matter what I would show her a picture or two... and during this few years she liked every single picture I took except this one... I thought: I messed this up badly

So thank you, it's nice to hear somebody actually likes it

Beautiful photo, I like the way it conveys a story.

I like this a lot!! The wrinkled hand and the grooves and aged look to the cane. Very nicely perceived and shot!

Pretty good shot of this old woman's hands and cane...not pleasant, not a light, breezy, fun shot, but more powerfully symbolic; I can image why your sister in-law did not like this, since it is too powerful, too honest, too much a predictor of the possible future.

This is about as brutally honest as a photo can get. I generally don't care for B&W, but here color would totally destroy the message.

As strangers, we are able to keep a bit of distance between us and the emotions you are invoking with this. You sister-in-law doesn't have that buffer.

Well done Maria! Great image.

It is beautiful. You have a good eye. Those hands are full of stories and life.

Time is unforgiving isn't it?! You made me think about it there Maria and I thank you for that

What a great shot!

 

[Borad]

I might make it slightly less honest and Photoshop out the newfangled zipper. Or at least the reflection.

 

[LimePanda]

That's awesome
I've always wanted to do a shot like that but have never gotten around to it... maybe I should
Anyways, it's a really nice photo, well done.

 

[weepete]

Awesome shot mmaria, I really like it.

 

[Raj_55555]

Nothing left for me to say except really love it, perfect fit for a B&W picture too.

glad I succeed

I didn't really notice mimicking until you didn't mentioned it

you mentioned almost everything I wanted to say with this picture

Color doesn't belong here for sure... and brutally honest is something I really want to hear about some of my pictures.

Well done Maria! Great image.

You're kind John!
