Awesome. Simply beautiful. This creates a lot of emotion, and that's just perfect.
The angle and framing/cropping are super. You capture the hands at an angle that we can see the rings, and the age of the people is shown nicely by great detail.
Focus and clarity are great, showing us both the detail in hands, and rings. I especially love the wrinkles.
If I HAD to make a suggestion for improvement, it would be that the left hand side is a bit distracting with the spots in the background. The background on the right seems fine to me.
The Lighting is nice. I thought that maybe a bit more lighting on the mans hand would help, but I'm not really sure. I like it. I think it's moody.
I wish there were more I could offer in the way of suggestions, but I find this to be a very touching, emotional, well done piece of work.
Great job!

This is a beautiful shot, marred (for me) only by the small "spots" along the left hand side - they keep distracting my eyes. I think I would like to have seen just a touch more light on the upper hand. The composition works beautifully, as does the black background. I also love the concept.

very nice emotion in this image. There is a bit of noise/graininess, but I don't think it takes anything away from the composition. :)

This is a beautiful photograph. The specks of light to the left are a little distracting, but I still give it a 10. Very very well done! I would like to see a portrait of these two some time.

I wish we didn't have the "stuff" on the left side. Would have been better with just the hands.

Very fitting title. Definately gives you a sense of the age of the hands.
