#51 what do you think?

liflander

This is a tough theme for me. Luckily, this appeared in front of me and I got the shot. Please let me know what you think. Theme worthy? Which version do you like best?
Thanks,
Mark

#1 Through the Generations


#2 B+W version


#3 cropped version


#4 cropped B+W version

Mark, nice shot! I would like to see the cropped version in B&W, however I personally would dodge the ladies shadowed face just a tad to bring out a little more detail (I can see that the shot had some challenging lighting with the strong sunlight through the window).

My only concern is that the theme includes both yesterday AND tomorrow. Having a mixed theme containing both subject choices can work very well, contrasting and emphasising each theme...that being said the general feeling here is that one should stick to one subject (yesterday) or the other (tomorrow) so as not to weaken the theme! So, conflicting views...does this make sense? Perhaps for this particular challenge, mixing both subjects just works and is an exception.

Would like to see the cropped B&W.

cropped BW too...(the finger in her mouth cracks me up, lol)

I like the image a lot too, and really most of the 'yesterday' images I have thought about seem to have a lot of tomorrow or today in them....

Binary, my image also includes yesterday and tomorrow (ish) ..maybe more like TODAY??? Where does it sit in your mind as to theme? http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=167958

Sorry for the hijack, lol...
