This is my entry for the competition.

The lady in the picture is my Nana. She was my mother's mother and died some 34 years ago aged 83. She was the eldest of 13 children and was a cook in domestic service, at a girls' private school and at a hospital in her time. I can still taste her turkey gravy at Christmas!

Noodles come to mind when I think of my Grandmother Caruso.
I like the gritty look to this photo.
Good luck in the contest.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Steve - A nice tribe to your grandmother - the photo of her being guarded by the geese. A creative presentation.

A unique presentation Steve.
She looks a lovely lady and I am sure she would have loved to think she is entered in a contest.
Best of luck. I like it a lot :)

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫

An interesting frame for her photograph. She must have been fond of ducks. . . or geese. A sweet picture!
