Even if you don't know the story you feel like you know it just by looking at those hands. Very thought evoking. Great work Sriram:)

The sensitive hands are beautifully portrayed and the colour of the dress adds a finishing touch with its harmonious blending.

Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States

OK, I am saying it here -- this is a masterpiece. A wonderful portrait of someone's hands -- expressive, gracefully aging hands, which want to tell us a whole life's story.

Arunk from Chicago, United States

beautiful. The lighting from the left seems to be the key to the beauty. Sriram - just viewing your daily photographs make me appreciate the art of photography so much (of which I know nothing about).

Qué buena composición y luz que has captado.
Estas manos con esos surcos que tienen los que han vivido mucho denotan tranquilidad y paz consigo mismo.
