Thanks a lot, Kathy! Appreciate the support - I always enjoy hearing from you! #8477974Lynne S. Fried March 24, 2010
Rona,this is fantastic. It tells a great story of a building a home and an old woman! Great job. #8478240Rona L. Schwarz March 24, 2010
Thank you, Lynne! I really appreciate that - means a lot. Actually, I had a lot of helpful suggestions with this image from FFFP members - so thanks everyone! I benefit everyday from your advice and support! #8478651Steve M. Harrington March 28, 2010
This is a remarkable image, Rona. I like that we can not see the woman's face. I think the weathered textures and lines of the building take care of that nicely. And the dirty, broken window adds nicely to a rather sad image. Is this the old age that awaits us all? So be it. The alternative is not at all appealing. :)Carol L. Fowler March 28, 2010
Great composition the textures are wonderful as well #8491078Rona L. Schwarz March 28, 2010
Thank you very much Steve and Carol for your kind comments! And yes, aging is not very attractive, but it sure does beat the alternative! #8491428Karen Celella March 31, 2010
