Thanks Mic i’m happy if your happy ha ha

Love this image. Hands are so expressive. They say a lot about a person and you have captured a life here.

Wonderful shot, I really like the way you’ve lit it to capture that feel. Definately a lot of expression in the image too!

almost an unreal texture to the hand, well composed and captured!

The texture comes from the old skin that’s all when you touch it for the first time it’s like fine ruber you get use to it The first time I did was my father’s skin.I didn’t do any FX.THANKS
Donna Damian and Andy

So nice an image… The skin seems so old, yet so smooth and tender. Great work.

They say «La beauté est dans les yeux de celui qui regarde»Thanks Nando

Beautiful image micmac

thanks again Helene

Oui tu as raison. La beauté est dans les yeux de celui qui regarde.
J’aime cette image. Très forte sentimentalement.

J’aime mon travail ça aide merçi Gigi

le fait que tu aimes ton travail se “respire” sur ces images de personnes âgées.
Tu leur apportes du soleil. Cela les réchauffe dans leur coeur. C’est beau.

Par contre on m’a déja convoqué parce-que j’étais trop affectueuse ,un bec sur la joue et c’est le drame.Après 16 ans ils me laissent un peu plus tranquille.Merçi belle Ancolie

wow what a powerful image. I love it.

Thanks a lot Chloe

Very sad but all so inevitable. I realy like the way you have used the light. Dark and shut out, but there is always a place that everyone can see. Excellent work, the story is in the image

Very moving…truly a fantastic photo with such a strong story to go with it. Amazing…!

Powerful statement-powerful image. It says so much!
I have your card (it finally arrived! “Sparkle Of Youth”) sitting on my dresser.
