What a wonderful contrast between the flaky, old, dried look to the meaty older hand, and the smooth, almost transparent waxy look to the baby hand. (apologies if it is your hand, no offense!)
I have never seen such a telling contrast - usually it is a mother's lovely smooth hand, and the baby's whole hand wrapped round one finger - this jolts me somehow - I feel my age more when I see this - it is so like my hand!
