I agree with Ken and would like to see all the fingers and finger tips. Then I thought about her face... Why can't we see her face? Why the cliche of the hands? I guess that I'd like to see her wrinkles and all. Maybe you could get a twinkle in her eye, or a dour expression or whatever. Those hands are just too neutral. My mom's gone now, but I occasionally catch a glimps of her in my daughter. Regards, Bob S. ======== Almost impossible for me to do. No good background, no good clothes, Mom doesn't pose well -- gets self-conscious. Not good enough light, her hair is often a mess, and usually no twinkle in eye. Good thought. But really almost impossible and I am not good at taking people in a non-studio situation. I have taken candid shots for my own record, but that is exactly what they are, candids. I'd need studio lights or something to do better. And I am not dropping bucks on them now. I didn't realize that hands were a cliche. Nevertheless, I really, really like hands. And in someone her age, they show a lot character just because she has reached the age she has. Thanks for your input. Marnie aka Doe
