Perfect choice for black and white. Gives a classic feel and brings out the details in the wrinkly skin.

another "a story with a single shot"... i like everything here... the difference of age due to the hands, gesture, is really a good photograph... compliments. 7

Comment by Melethia:
The warmth of this shot is wonderful. Contrast of youth versus age, and the glimmer of the trim on the sleeve. Perfect for B&W, too - keeps it slightly understated.

I find this an evocative image. Even without the title, I would read the "story" of the image of an "offering" from the younger person (daughter-in-law???) to the elder (mother-in-law???). Like the tight composition. I think great choice for B&W; making an assumption that the colors of the clothes would distract from the exchange/activity of the hands. Nice image.

Beautiful. Perfectly processed. The detail and lighting really pull the eye to the cup and hands.
