I think I get what you were going for here. I like the idea of grundge, but I think for a mother shot it may not be the best thing. I think of mothers as soft but strong and she has such wonderfully wisdom filled wrinkles that I think either leaving it the original color or making it b/w or even sepia without the grundge might have worked better here.

Love the subject. Criticism: I feel like if the original picture is not sharp and too much USM has been used or some filters like poster edges...

I like this shot a lot but the colors seem a tad oversaturated. Just my opinion though.

BLISS. Exactly the kind of image I was hoping for in this challenge. Beautifully done. 9 because it looks the TEENIEST bit grainy to me.
