Excellant example of how Black & White photography with the right lighting can portray emotion so well. If I had been voting in this challenge, I would of certainly given this a 10.

Oh my! I am so thrilled with the commenters' responses to this shot. My mom tirelessly posed for shots and she was thrilled to hear your comments.

To all of you who left such touching comments - we read them together and she was warmed by them... many thanks.

The gold ring was an artistic decision that some liked/others didn't but I'm glad I tried it. Oddly the composition suffered from not having some element to balance the off-center hands.

This is the first time my photography has such a personal and emotional edge to it -- thanks to the many who responded to the image.

this is lovely but I don't like the gold ring. The saturation gives it emhasis and I don't see how that matters in this competition of time passing--the hands together handle that nicely.

Why colorize the ring? what is the significance? Nice shot but no need.
