The gesture, the cane, the engaged faces all in a sensitively felt capture and critically eyed composition. bump

Fascinated by the hand gesture. Is she about to point, or quantifying a measurement? Is this a mother and daughter?
Wonderful moment and a well defined color palette all add to the sense of story.

I like this scene very much. The image looks a little soft but perhaps that was by choice. Nicely color palette.

The challenge was about stories being told and I get that feeling from the picture. I like it.
