A loving darling and a real sweetheart. Bumping up. And another bump!

She reminds me of my mother in law. Like the color in the picture in the back.

I like this one. The typical expression of grandmothers...I can feel the warm-heart atmosphere from the picture. Thank U

I'm not fond of the color cast here, and it seems like there's a lot of emphasis on the painting more than the beautiful great-grandmother, at least with the color. The lamp is also distracting for me. It's a wonderful pose of the great-grandmother, though and I'm sure she will love this. You're making me miss my great-grandmother.

I would love to have seen a more "close-up" shot of her. This just has too much distraction in the background, and the color feels "off" to me for some reason. The picture on the wall has good color, but everything else looks kind of odd.

Was the noise added on purpose? I don't think it's bad in this shot, lends to the "old" feel. I don't really like the coloring though. Too flat.

like the grainy feel of the pic!

Wow. Excellent job on making this photo look old, it reminds me old pictures of my grandmother.

a good picture - but the background is too mixed up

Composition is ok. Good choice of subject matter. The image quality is ok. Has potential of being really creative. - 5

I'm not very good at knowing how a photo was processed but if I'm right...I really like the partial desat and added noise or grain.

The background is distracting. I think maybe focusing on her face or hands would have added interest.

Background is a little grainy for my taste, but I like this shot. And the background is very fitting somehow.

Love the grain and the desaturation, it really adds to the image. I wish she didn't look like she was in the middle of saying something. I really like everything in the photo except the Christmas lights in the window. I like how you kept the color in the painting...nice touch.

So warm, so touching...........

I like this, her look and the way she is holding her hands; however, because most of the colors are muted my eye wants to wander away from her to the colorful painting.

I really like the desat and the noise. Very nice.

This is a great shot, and I think the grain works for it. Background lights are distracting, but this probably couldn't be helped.

I love the setup here although cluttered, just emphazises the world around older people, perhaps in smaller lodgins, concentrating all their much prized belongings..

Lovely shot, not sure I like the grain. But well done.

Wonderful!

I find the color in the picture on the wall to be a bit distracting compared to her very pale skin. I like the way you captured her hands though in this portrait.
