No Age Limits *

Florida

Here is my mother having her very first manicure for her 85th birthday. I like the warm tones in this photo, as well as the contrast between her gnarled old hand and the smooth skin of the manicurist. My mother kept complaining about my spending "all that money" for the manicure, but I think she actually enjoyed it. By the way, she doesn't know that I've submitted this photo of her hand for public viewing...hope she'll forgive me.

Canon PowerShot G3
1/50s f/3.5 at 23.0mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Mary Anne, this is a beautiful photograph. I really like seeing the hand of a person who has lived so long. It tells a story of a long life and celebrates the kind of beauty that matters most - inner beauty. Thanks for submitting this one. Ann C
