 The back-story: My Son is exceedingly close to his Grandfather. He had spent virtually every waking moment from the age of about 10 (23 now) when we moved home to be closer to family. Grandpa is 74 and wasn't doing very well health-wise on Christmas morning. Jessica, my son's wife has become very close to our family over the last 6 years. They have been dating since 10th grade. I captured this candid as she watched while Grandpa opened a gift. The concern in her eyes was poignant and loving I think both for Grandpa and the stress she knows her new husband is feeling from Grandpa's condition.

Concern? ...or aloofness? ;-) Lovely girl, decent lighting, not so sure about the crop/comp.
