Adorable...this kitten looks blissfully happy, and I bet the elderly lady holding her is as well!

I would like to see this in B&w with a tighter crop..this has great potential. I don't know how many you took , but this is worth going back for more!

Great shot! Very powerful.
I have a friend who is a pet healer so I truly believe in the healing methods. But seeing such an old hand with that kitten creates so many different feelings in me.
I think this is just a wonderful photo!

And I do agree with Riggs: Getting old sucks... :-)

Just added this to my favorites. I've gotta be contrary to Riggs and say that I think this woman's hands are beautiful! I'm sort of at that stage of early middle age where I'm just beginning to notice how my hands are changing and working on trying to love where they're headed :-)

My favorite thing about the photograph is one can almost feel how soft the kitten fur feels under her hands.
