[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This time i decided to post a very different photo: The picture of my grandmother.

Some people don't like to take photos. My grandmother don't like but i find that this time i obtained a very original photo. What do you think?

I have converted the original to B&W and adjusted the contrast. I like the result and i hope you also like.

Luis, what a wonderful picture ! You have managed to capture the marks of time on her hands and head. By converting to B&W you have underlined the timelessness of the picture as well. Riminds me of Grandmother who was camera shy as well, however, she was always laughing hard behind her hands. Never managed to capture her like this !

Beautiful and very sharp as well. Very well exposed and the amount of flash used is perfect. I love the tone of the B&W.

very strong photo Luis!;-) the light is great and not too heavy, the frame is perfect, neat and simple. Personally, i hate to be photographed so i can understand her perfectly...;-) i 'd rather be the photographer! LOL
nice shot!

A good photo. The color tone is rather pale so personally, I would try sepia. Nonetheless, the textures are very good and the tight framing brings us closer to her. Great shot.

Wonderful!LOL I have a whole collection over years of just the same 'hand in face' family photos. Including a few 'one finger fists' shots too. Made my day Luis. LOL
Agree with Manny, sepia, would make this a classic.

Uma foto de retrato diferente mas com um resultado excepcional,o p/b está excelente assim como os contrastes,adorei o resultado,muito bom.

Une très belle composition Luis. Très beaux contrastes. Le noir et blanc renforce la dynamique générale.
Très bien.
Very well done.

Una fotografia muy expresiva. Me parece una buena decision haber cambiado la fotografia a blanco y negro. La claridad es muy buena y el tema en si es excelente.

Eu acho fenomenal esta sua sequencia da sua avó, é simplesmente fabulosa, esta então está o máximo !
Parabéns Luis !

I love this; hands have as unique a character as faces. I think the B&W works really well here.

tres joli j'aime beaucoup cette photo des rides que personne ne veux et qui sont toute la richesse de se personnage bravoooo

Olá Miguel. A foto está muito boa e o título melhor ainda. Imagino que os 'objetos sendo fotografados' às vezes devem ficar bem irritados quando mais um 'maluco' aparece ... hehe ... parabéns a você por ter uma vó ainda disponível a ser fotografada ... grande abraço do Brasil ... eduardo

Obrigada pelo seu comentario, Luis !
Eu teria que passar o dia para comentar todas as suas. Entao para começar eu escolhi esta.
Eu mesma sofro diante de uma camera (entendo a sua avo...risos). Mas precisamente porque eu adoraria fazer "portraits" e acho dificilimo. Entao....BRAVO ! essa foto esta lindissima.
