These are my neighbors hands. They will be married 47 years this year. Successful on all counts. I'm new and learning about apertures...still not there yet obviously but it's fun.

very nice imagery. the only thing i would change is the soft focus on his palm and her pinky finger. i think the image would have been more powerful if it was all in focus.
These days days any marriage in the double digits is a success. What a blessing to be in the presence of 47 years of marriage! (My parents missed 44 years by just a couple of months due to my Dad's transfer to a Celestial address.)
I love the shape of the hands which to me roughly resembles a heart (certainly an added blessing if unintentional.) :)
returning to comment:
I love photographs of hands... especially mature hands that have a million stories in their lines. Beautifully photographed - bumping up
I can think of no better success than to like long with the one you love. Contrast in this photo makes their aged hands stand out even more. Very nice!
