B&W was a great choice here! Wonderful photo with full of emotions, I love the composition, and the contrast between old and young. :-) In Hungarian, new is rather for objects, not humans, but this may be just a language difference, so 10 from me and good luck!!!
The expressions and the two personalities make this a very strong contender in this challenge. Exceptional quality and one of my top 5 picks. Very well done!!
Arrgghh, lose the 'quirky' border please, it adds nothing to an otherwise fairly good shot.
Nice use of B&W. I love the old hand around the young girl but does it fit the theme? Maybe if the theme was Old & Young I would score it higher but old & new?
