If every picture tells a story, this one speaks volumes. I love how the lighting shapes the fingers. Very nicely done Shu!

I like the way you've cropped and composed this one. And, of course, the hands themselves speak volumes. Interesting, thoughtful image. Nicely done. -Philio Vance

Shu, this simply stunning. I like the depth that the shadow lends to the overall quality of this image, super fine job with the lighting and composition.....

Thanks, guys. Nonni was very patient while I kept shooting at her hands for about
1/2 hour. After being shot numerous times, she was still sewing.....!!! Shu
