 My mother and my Lily (again). Shot in RAW and then converted in PS with channel mixer. This was an extreme crop of a shot taken from way back across the table... so had to do quite a bit of sharpening.

This is the sort of photography I so love........emotions, people, expression, untold stories. And so very well done. It certainly speaks to me.

For some reason, I had a hard time figuring out the hands / arms. The models are not looking / faced the same direction. The girl is not looking at the older lady whom she is hugging. Nor is the girl facing the camera. If the child and adult were looking at each other, or both looking directly at camera, I think it would draw you more into the picture and the moment. Nice focus & lighting.

Not sure how this meets the challenge?

I've looked at this for a long time. It speaks volumes of a great many things, of which I find difficult to put into words. She stares at me with such wisdom and kindness in her eyes, and it's hard to look away. Thank you for sharing this. It truly is, for me, a most memorable photograph. Even if I can't explain to you exactly how. Just know it's utterly beautiful in every way.

They both seem to looking in the right directions and with great expression...it really gives a lot of interest. On top of that the b&w conversion is excellent. Great photo!
