Portrait of a Wife



I submitted this image into the broken competition. What I was trying to do was cause a moment of thought.

Was the photo broken deliberately or by accident?
Are the hands angry or sad or both?
Is the relationship over and if so by death or separation?

I have used Photoshop to oversharpen and so make the hands seem older. Also I considered a B W version but preferred colour.

Any comments at all will be most welcome. We learn from our mistakes ..... but why does experience come five seconds too late?

I picked up on the the question's you you tried to put across immediately and as a result found the image very poignant... great shot IMO

Re: Portrait of a Wife

Good idea here and well executed. I know you said you tried mono but preferred colour but might I suggest a selective? I think if the hands and table and picture frame were mono but the picture in colour, it could be quite powerful.

But as is I like this a lot, well done.

Cheers,
Rob
