Nice portrait of them in this magical moment. It's wonderful how bright-eyed the elder gentleman is, tenderly touching life to life. The blurred vignette is a bit strong, but certainly effective in drawing attention to the heart of the image. Good photograph of time itself.
I SOOO LOVE THIS PHOTO!!! I can't vote on it knowing whom it belongs too, but this brings a tear to my eye every time I see it. Congrats Grandma!
One of your best works yet!
How personal and touching this is and what a wonderful story this photo tells without words.
Oh what a wonderful capture of youth. The sparkle in his eyes says to me that he is still the young man he was so many years ago and he looks so very proud to hold this sweet bundle. Nicely done.
Beautiful portrait marred only by the unnatural blur/vignette and a question: why do that? I so wanted to give a high vote by imagining a crop centering on the head and hands of such an incredible human being and incredible capture. Should have been a 10 but only a 6.
I didn't vote because I saw this on Facebook. Welcome back, by the way. The subject couldn't be better, and the lighting is good. The only negative for me is the excessive blur on the sides. I hope that wasn't ubique's evil influence. He is a notorious vignettist.
Awesome! What a juxtaposition! I almost never say what I'd have done (what do I know?) but as the exception that proves the rule I'd have eased back on the peripheral blur, just a wee bit. But this is more than a once-in-a-lifetime shot opportunity, and you have done a great job of it. Thank you.
