Perfect execution of a great subject. The composition is just right. The subtle play of colors is compelling. Good (restrained) use of fractals. I love the way they droop telling the story. Lovely, professional job. Cheers, James.

Most excellent. You really nailed the title! I see you not only got life and death in there -- but some "advanced middle age" -- I can identify.

Beautiful focus, superb dof, and excellent composition. Your work is lovely.
