I love the Mona Lisa smile on the mother and the worried look on the daughter. So much being expressed here.

This is really a wonderful post, with the colorization done so well. I sat here and just studied it for awhile. The elderly woman is so wise looking, and I have to wonder what the younger lady was pondering.

Absolutely brilliant colorization on this one. Your skills of observation lead one to believe you must be at least 175 years old.....or maybe I should rephrase this ... wise beyond your years.

Rob, this is another great one of the 'Stepping out of time' series! The well chosen and perfectly done colorization was very helpful to give me this qualification.
Your narrative says that Miss Nettie Lloyd is a pellagra victim. Because I'm not a MD, I was curious about the effects of this disease and have found this information. Reading this information, I had expect to see in the photograph the above mentioned 'signs and symptoms', but that's not the case. Think to see however that the circumstances, in which the old mother and daughter had to live, is far from optimal. The proper and not overdone colorization enhances this feeling. Very well done again, my friend!

Well done again Rob.
I think in my mind they are sitting beside a grave, contemplating the lost loved one.
A sad pictue

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

I think Lyn is correct about a grave; that pile of rocks in the lower left corner could be a grave cairn. Many mountain settlers in the Appalachians and south into the Carolinas were of Irish extract, a very proud people not given to taking charity in any form, including medicine. The direction of "Nettie's" gaze (if that is, indeed, Nettie... I think it is because the title states Nettie "is" a victim, the present tense) is toward that rock pile and the smile on the elderly Mrs. Lloyd is one of pain remembered. The person in the grave may be her husband or a child who died too young. As for the colorization, all I can do is echo what everyone else is saying; that the subtle coloring does so much more to bring these women to life than strong, harsh colors ever could. You have the perfect touch, Rob.
