I love knowing the conversation right before this shot! You can just imagine the temperature in the air, the time of day and that they graciously turned down your request...and didn't yell at you or anything.
Thanks so much for turning around and looking back...
Congratulations!

It's a very good shot, but in my eyes doesn't meet the challenge. That's how. I generally don't openly disagree with members, but this deserves my 2 cents. Landscapes are pretty, a lot of what is around us is pretty, beautiful even, but to see an elderly couple, walking together such as this, to me, is one of the most precious and beautiful things our lives can wish for. The landscapes and pretty things around us will still be there in 20, 50, 100 years, but the moments as seen in this great example of the bond of two human beings, will last but moments, and we all should take the time to see this as one of the great goals while we live on this planet. Thank you for this shot Adrian, and congrats on your Blue Ribbon. I agree 100% with you Brad! And Congrats on a well deserved Blue Adrian.

How can this image not meet the challenge? Beauty in the everyday!I see old couples walking around holding hands everyday and this image is especially beautiful. It obviously has met the challenge in the eyes of many of the voters.

Ohhhhhhhwuh!!! What a beautiful photo! I'm so happy this won. It makes me feel good that something VERY beautiful, simple and "every day" won. . . and one that didn't get all hung on whatever the heck the wabi sabi thing was.

And what Brad said: DITO 100% ! !

Congratulations on your first ribbon. ..which I'm sure will have many others following it!

It may not be Wabi-Sabi, but it sure is Beauty in The Everyday. Gorgeous photo and congratulations on your Blue!! Well deserved.

Congrats on a beautiful shot DOBRI PHOTO.!

If the challenge was WABI-SABI then Oliver is correct it does not meet the challenge, but I think a large amount of people have no idea about true WABI-SABI anyway. the challenge title was also BEAUTY IN THE EVERYDAY of which this shot is a total winner
