As always, an extraordinarily beautiful shot! Your Mom is a wonderful looking lady and I'm sure she's very proud of her photographer daughter. One comment though: I much preferred the earlier shot because your mom was holding the photo of her in her hand and it made the connection to her youth (to my eyes) much more powerful than having the photo floating somewhat disembodied in the air behind her. Either way it really tells and evocative story and will be a finalist for sure!
Hi Jane,
What great image, the idea comes through easily. It is the kind of image that hits home the older you are. I really like the way you made the youthful image blurry, it reminds me of how fast life passes us by and also how the memories of our past are a little distorted. This is a great take on the WA.

Wonderful take on the assigment. I like this one better than the first, and the othe one was really good. You are picking up that portrait skill quite well. Great lighting and like Peter and I am sure this is a finalist, if not a winner. Good Luck.
