Thanks to my friend Andrey and my daughter Julie for modeling for me.
Unfortunately it was a last minute entry and I ran out of time to complete the picture to the way I wanted.

I really like how you feathered the desat. I am not sure the general DPC public will agree with me ... but I love it. There really is a sense of peace that I feel when looking at this shot.
A very touching (excuse the pun) shot. Given the title, I can see why you have extended the colour to the adult's hands but for me it takes some of the impact out of it, sorry. Nice focus and lighting, you should do well with it.
Usually I say, your edges are sloppy, but this is actaully an artistic way to use that effect. Creative and uses selective desat with purpose. Well done
Wow, really effective, though with a twist of perception it could be scary -- like the older hands are sucking the energy out of the younger... but I digress :-)
