Wow. A wonderfully processed image where the processing adds to the shot. This has a very sad mood to it. Great job M!!

Paco Díaz from Palma de Mallorca, Spain
This is a very dramatic image, emotive and terrible. The use of noise and light, like yesterday's, is essential to the effect. Very good.

Nina from Haute Loire, France
Image of loleliness ... N / B added to the light expresses this loudly feeling in this old lady bent.

k@ from Paris, France
This one touches me a lot. Is it in Canada really ? or taken some years ago in your former country ? Overwhelming, anyway........................
10 Jul 2009 9:05am
@k@: Thanks K :) It is from here, from a farm. I used to buy fresh milk from her daughter.

zOOm from Paris, France
Very poignant portrait, your grain adding a lot too... but she's really looks despaired and alone. That's so sad to be alone when you're getting old. It's a picture of powerful impact.

Tout le poids d'une vie laborieuse sur les épaules de cette vieille femme.

Craig@Random Ramblings from Herts, United Kingdom
Now this one is lonely and unlike yesterday's without hope it would seem. A very powerful image, bravo!

don from spokane, United States
We can't know her thoughts, but her posture conveys a deep concern about something. A very strong photograph!

flyingwind风飞扬 from Taiyuan, China
Fantastic!!! Meaningful and thought-provoking! Absolutely a masterpiece! Nonfocus and sepia often bring something special but not everyone can get it properly while you have such an ability~~~ Anyway, more of this series at least 100 pieces ^_^
10 Jul 2009 1:45pm
@flyingwind风飞扬: ha ha .. Thanks a lot, but I am afraid I am going to make you and everyone else, including myself, very depressed . Tomorrow is time for some cheerful flowers or birds :)) Something happy !
Marcie from Newton, United States
Powerful image. The grainy effect only adds to the sadness. Well done!!
10 Jul 2009 2:18pm

Stephane Themeze from Maryland, United States
A picture to be hung on your wall for remembrance that it is , when life, to be lived to the fullest and that moments of solitude are too to be embraced as a whole.

shoti from Everywhere in the, Philippines
like everyone else said, this is truly moving. full of sad emotions and the sepia tones and grains added more sadness to it. I'll be waiting for tomorrow's sunny post :)
10 Jul 2009 3:54pm
@shoti: Thanks Shoti. Will think about something sunny or at least funny for tomorrow :)) Have a great weekend !
Liang from San Francisco, United States
I like this, plainly because of the old feel you've given here with the old lady and the processing of the image. Takes me sort of back into the 1940s-50s era, like the world war II times. nice! =D

Alivia from Saint-Etienne, France
si triste, si seule, si abandonnée, une image pesante d'une réalité troublante et désolante.. le traitement efface un peu la douleur de la scène .. a very great shot..
10 Jul 2009 5:33pm
Benkirane from Fès, Morocco
Tout dans la posture de cette vieille femme (tête baissé, mains croisées...) indique la solitude voire le désespoir...et fait sentir le poids du temps qui fuit hémorragiquement...

Andy from United States
Wow gives a real sense of emotion and sadness for some reason. Like the weight of the world is on her shoulders. Really like the processing!

Steve Rice from Olympia, United States
Such a gripping image that screams loneliness. Such superb work you've done here.
10 Jul 2009 8:14pm
Steven from Chicagoland, United States
The sentiment is captured here without even seeing the expression on her face. Well done!

akarui from Kagoshima, Japan
Loneliness and may be she is also tired. Beautiful atmosphere with the tones and noise. The blur also helps for a story telling.
