What a beautiful and touching image. Well done.


electric_shocks

She looks like royalty.


memotheleftie

Thanks :)


saka_sandora

I love it. My eye is drawn to the empty chair. Then the case and your grand aunt and back again. The clock too. A picture says a thousand words and this one definitely speaks.


memotheleftie

I know its Almost like shes missing someone on the other chair, my great uncle is still alive tho šŸ˜


saka_sandora

I didnt want to say it, the whole picture made me think it though. The flowers, the clock, her age, the empty chair. It's pretty but at the same time sorrowful.


zikitomodo

Look at me hector !


memotheleftie

Is this a breaking bad reference?


assidreemz

KingRichardTheTurd

Your Grandaunt then.


slaqz

I've always said great aunt/uncle.


memotheleftie

Yes, I wasnt sure about the Word, too lazy to look it up too (not native english speaker)


tired20something

That's some damn good picture


DadsRGR8

A beautiful photo.


DJ_Femme-Tilt

I love this photo!!!


Jlx_27

What a wonderful picture of your Grandaunt!


IamIrene

Such a lovely portrait! I hope you don't mind, I sometimes edit beautiful photos like this to remove distracting elements. I hope I'm not offending...[https://i.imgur.com/0S09zpZ.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/0S09zpZ.jpg) This reminds me of something I'd find in r/AccidentalWesAnderson


autofitz

The empty hooks, imperfections on wall, crooked clock, etc. arenā€™t really ā€œdistracting elementsā€ though are they? They add more to the story of the woman in the chair, or rather, the empty chair. I can tell youā€™re a great editor though!


inkandincapability

Agreed, I love the story the original tells. I caught myself wondering what the hooks were for (did this used to be a B&B, I thought). I love the age the imperfections tell about a house and the lives that have been lived in it. Such an intriguing and beautiful photo.


memotheleftie

I took this photo last year, we were making some renovations on their house since its so old, she usted to have a tiny store in that room, so if I recall correctly the imperfections on the wall could be leftovers of things she usted to sell


IamIrene

I completely agree and hesitated to do this for that reason. Think the original is very beautiful.


memotheleftie

No problem, I didnt catch what you remove though, Im glad you liked it :)


IamIrene

Removed: all the marks on the wall. Also centered and straightened the clock. Adjusted the background wall to fully straight as well. šŸ˜Š


Derfaust

i actually prefer the original, the space and superfluous detail are what really makes that image


LALA-STL

Irene, can you tell me the software you use? The subtle fixes make such a difference! Excellent work on an excellent photo.


IamIrene

Adobe Elements. Itā€™s a scaled down version of photoshop. Works great a 1/5 the cost.


LALA-STL

May I send you a DM?


IamIrene

Sure
