Made me giggle. so very very true. Great capture, well cropped and I feel there's even more there by playing with Contrast and Saturation

Classic Image. The composition and subject are awesome. The lighting is also terrific. The cushion in the background is rather distracting, especially the corner that's opposite her wrist. All in all a great image though.

Technically, this is sorta "snapshot"ish with the highlight on the pillows which distracts us. I do love the expression and we all know we'll be there one day. 6

I like this shot. A good composition. I like how the woman is cropped along the edge. Focus and color management look pretty good. Some might say that the background is bordering on being busy, but I think it adds context to the image, and the dof helps and keeps the subject isolated. I can definitely relate, I've seem my own mom struggling with 'current' technology all the time :-) Nice job.

I love this! I hope that everyone gets this photo. My grandmother, when she was alive, had the hardest time with any new technical device. The VCR, microwave....well, just anything that had buttons. No matter how many times you explained it, she would just not get it. She would just say, "remotes are for the lazy people, if I want to turn the channel I will get up and do it myself!"

hahah. nice. this lady looks more grandmotherly than motherly - though of course one is a mother first - doesn't bother me, but you might lose points from the hardcore DNMC crew..

you did a great job of capturing one of those universal experiences that we all have :)
(as opposed to those universal experiences that not all of us have... umm....)
