Spent Saturday shooting a birthday celebration for a 95-year-old - whose 90th I shot five years ago. Her sister, who is about to turn 100, was there.

    Those hands are fulll of character which you've captured perfectly.

    Love the light and the composition.

    I love this. God-willing, we will all see 95, upright and healthy.

    What a great shot. Great light, composition and fabulous hands.
    I love hands more than anything else and capture my 96th y o mum's whenever I'm home. They have such character and reflect such a multitude of life experiences. It would make a great assignment bd.

    Not 95, guys - 100! The party was for the 95-year-old - these hands first emerged into the light in...1911!

    A shot with impact, nicely done. Cropping 25% off the bottom would make it even better.
