Rona,this is fantastic. It tells a great story of a building a home and an old woman! Great job. #8478240

Rona L. Schwarz March 24, 2010

Thank you, Lynne! I really appreciate that - means a lot. Actually, I had a lot of helpful suggestions with this image from FFFP members - so thanks everyone! I benefit everyday from your advice and support! #8478651

Steve M. Harrington March 28, 2010

This is a remarkable image, Rona. I like that we can not see the woman's face. I think the weathered textures and lines of the building take care of that nicely. And the dirty, broken window adds nicely to a rather sad image. Is this the old age that awaits us all? So be it. The alternative is not at all appealing. :)
