something about the cropping is a bit off -- like the muted colors and background

Oh my! I am so thrilled with the commenters' responses to this shot. My mom tirelessly posed for shots and she was thrilled to hear your comments.

To all of you who left such touching comments - we read them together and she was warmed by them... many thanks.

The gold ring was an artistic decision that some liked/others didn't but I'm glad I tried it. Oddly the composition suffered from not having some element to balance the off-center hands.

This is the first time my photography has such a personal and emotional edge to it -- thanks to the many who responded to the image.

the expression and angle are just right -- LOL. Curtain detracts a bit (althought I'm not sure why)

the frenetic colors and light really work here -- not easy to pull off the "night street scene" in a fresh way. Well done

too bad about the dof -- nothing really sharp enough
