A friend and I were walking through the garden in this nursery and I found this nice older lady resting as folks were looking over all the flowers. I thought about making it into a sepia, but it was so beautiful just as it was that I left it alone. What do you think?

Good choice, Carol. It IS beautiful this way. It looks like she is really enjoying watching the people, and the flowers.

Carol - This woman appears to be enjoying herself as she sits and watches people and the gardens. Well done! Thad

Old people are so often overlooked and invisible to the busy world rushing by. It's great you took the time to notice this lovely gentle lady. Good work!

I like it the way it is too. She looks so at peace and pleased with where she is. This photo you took has such a good feeling about it. It's simple and say so much. Verena

I like the dandilions about to seed behind her....and, of course, the flower behind. Beautiful "slice-of-life" picture.

Good you did not capture this lovely image into sepia. You got a beautiful, colorful background. Otherwise you wasted the scene. That's my opinion. You had a very nice lighting too, this must be a midday capture (just guessing).Great composition. Very well done.
