Well-composed and exposed. The placement of the woman on the bench is perfect. It make it look like there is someone missing.

nicely done. A genuine fear I think most of us have. I like the b&w too - seems to add the right touch to such a somber moment. Could be me, but wish is was a tad sharper - Good job! Great photo. cthenk

I would like to see the object behind the woman removed as it is distracting. Otherwise this is a great photo

Comment by daysez:
A fear we all have in our later years. What I see in the photo is sadness, without the title the picture would not stand in the challenge. B/w works well in this picture, but may I suggest paying more attention to what is behind the subject, the pole growing out of her head is not very flattering. If you would have moved some to camera left she could be framed between the tree trunk and the poles and still off center at the left frame third.

Sad idea, well portrayed. Good contrast. Subject would have been better with a more uniform, contrasting background. 7 Swash

A great fear of many, indeed. My only suggestion would be to frame the subject with the "open" space in front of her instead of behind. It seems to give it more balance that way. karmat

Having lost my father a couple of years ago, this really hits home.
