Peter, I like your photo. It seems, that you see every year and every emotion in her face and on her hands. Very good monochrome picture.
I'm not sure about the situation, but I would like to see her entire face. Could you wait a moment for a better situation or was she not in the mood to be photographed? Posted: 11/11/2024 09:07:05

A very interesting image with great composition. I agree with Peter in that seeing more of the face would be an improvement. I also suggest eliminating the bright white area in the top left of the image. Posted: 11/12/2024 15:38:27
I like this a lot. I agree with Jim about removing the white bit in the upper left, but am otherwise quite moved by this. Posted: 11/15/2024 18:05:47
Beautiful story of a hard life with the weathered hands and face. Yes, in an ideal situation, seeing more of her face would have been better. The image does look better with the white piece removed. Posted: 11/16/2024 17:52:27
