This is a very interesting study of an older hand and a very young one. The colours you ended up with are truly amazing.

This is amazing! Love it! Good luck in the contest! Love the effect- makes it seem almost dream-like. Cute photo with the young child's hand- creative! The title describes it beautifully!

This is a great and powerful image. It is eye catching. I like how you softened the background, as it really draws my eyes to the main subject and keeps my attention there. Great details and focus. The lighting is also well done. Great job!

What a touching shot. I love the B&W. Great detail as well. This has a lot of emotion, which is so important, I think. Very well done.

It looks like you are going to win by a huge margin! I knew it was going to be hard to beat! Do you have any ideas for new contests?

Comment from shoregrass
Fantastic work of art which touches the heart and soul with its simple message of trust and love. All your effects are seamless and look marvelous in their end result. The crop has created a perfect composition that accentuates the strength the older hand and the trust of the younger one. Excellent in every way and a privilege to view and review.
