Congrats on your winning work. Very descriptive. What if the hands belonged to a 30 year old person? I wonder. Thanks for dropping by. Sara

Very nice description of the photo. I haven’t been motivated by any of the contests when I check in. Maybe I’ll get in the groove someday soon. At least I’m reading.....RAY
