The moment past, is what I learn from your photo. Age, antiquity, remembrances, nostalgia are all tools to use. Tomorrow is long gone. Last week does not exist.

I like the composition and story. Very good details for the contrasting coloring. Two things I'll say...first, portraits are my weekest part of photography so you can take my comments with a grain of salt. To me Ivory's face seems a little bit blown to me, I'm not sure what you used for lighting. I just looked at the blog and again to me, the original contained more detail in their faces. Second is not a comment but a request...could you put the camera info in when you submit, I think it will help with comments so that we can see your camera settings. And personally (this I'd like to request from everyone submitting portraits) I'd like to see a description of the lighting used, so people like myself who are trying to be better portrait photographers can learn the good tricks and proper lighting setups.
Nice start to this side challenge.
