Nice pics Gubbs. The sepia tone is great for an aged feeling. I love the lines and curves in the first one. The second one has an interesting feel to it with the old trees and the old people sort of complimenting each other.

These are both very very nice. I find the blown swan in the first a little distracting. I'll bet a more careful B&W conversion could fix this. Often you have to make sure the detail is there in the color version before conversion, and we've been all over that ground.

But this is nit picking. The story these two shots tell is touching.

I love them both, Gubbs. Especially the second one from the back.

And, of course, that nice brick wall again in the first one. I love photos of old people. (Much more than babies.)

Were you out looking for humor? And you found life.

Both great shots. The 2nd however, is my favorite. An instant classic.

Gubbs, I have nothing meaningful to add - I agree with everything said!

Thanks for all the comments everyone, these two gave me warm feeling on a cold day.

I checked back to the raw and can get more detail on the swan, just give me a little more time :D
