Great idea and composition. Excellent choice of background.

Excellent idea and well executed. Lighting and composition good. Great subject for this challenge topic. Great job :-)

Wrinkles show up best with a direct hard light. The composition is nice but unsuported.

Nice theme for the photo...a little to smooth a focus to depict the texture though.

If a grandchild of mine said this, I would probably be very insulted and secretly destroy some of his/her toys. 7

What a very cool idea...especially since I have 6 grand kids! Nice shot...great lighting.

The humor seems a bit cruel. Wouldn't just the hands have worked better?
Post actions
nice idea, but I think this shot would have been really effective if you had just showed a closeup of grandpas hands. maybe holding the childs hands to show contrast

:-) Good idea for the challenge! I wonder how many kids think that!

ouch! poor grandma. this is just silly, as I'm betting it was actually your idea and not the kids, but it's cute :)

Ah man that would hurt. Good idea but not very original. I saw a similar B&W in the previous texture challenge.

I hope you had a great time taking this picture. Looks like some magical time spent with the different generations. Not that you care since you had a good time, but, did you think about having both arms be the same (blacked out or shown) as the composition was slightly off. Good luck.

cute and very original idea IMHO. hands seem a bit on the pink side.

too contrived..heavy handed!

I felt that the teture of the gentlemans wrist was more interesting than the other pair of hands and the sandpaper.

Enjoyed the visual story behind the pic. Not sure why one arm has a sleeve and the other doesn't? Kinda makes right hand look like it's unattached and floating in air. Otherwise nice pic.

Beautiful thought to bad you don't have more detail to the sandpaper and grandpa's hand to show the roughness.

Touching and lovely take on the challenge. I like the slightly soft focus of this composition. Nicely done.

Different take on the "hands" texture. It's odd that the upper arm is black (black sleeve?) and the lower arm is bare. Different kids? It looks a little odd.

Use Palmolive!!

Lighting and the level of contrast (perhaps rather the level of mid-tones) you've chosen to use here don't do a lot for this. I think the idea of the contrast of young and old skin is good, though I find the 'joke' a bit twee, and this doesn't communicate that contrast effectively.

the upper had is disembodied - where is the arm? i see the other 2...
Post actions
god... i can only imagine the child's horror when grandpa's skin comes off as its sanded...
