Sentimental photo of my grandparents. My grandma has no idea what a camera is (or does) due to severe memory loss and my Granddad is encouraging her to look.

I was drifting thur the pictures on this site, and ran up on this one. It is a very good picture. Pictures are frozen moments in time. I have been married to the same ole gal for 37 years. I enjoy every moment I have with her. Sure we have had arguements, who has not? But even then I enjoy her company. We have been through alot in our years, and I do not look for that to change. In this walk of life the great creator or creation has afforded us, if you can find a good and wonderful mate, you have won a great battle. We are now about to embark on a adventure that will affect us for the rest of our lives. If you have a good and wonderful mate, when you end up on one of those 'adventures' , that mate makes it a little less rough to handle. Good Picture.

I can't thank everyone who voted for me enough.
I have used these forums for years now just plodding along in the background and trying to learn a thing or too. This is the first challenge I have ever entered, so to come first place really means alot.

Thanks again

I cannot express how much I love this image. I show this image to my girlfriend last night and she say that's us in 50 years from now. Your photo warms our heart

A well-deserved win. Lovely capture, with photogenic subjects and a perfect moment in time that you caught with your camera. Really, I have zero criticism of this . . . it's basically a perfect image to my eyes.

Absolutely lovely. Thank you for capturing such a wonderful photo. This is going to be my goal when I grow old with my girlfriend. You should know I "almost" never voted FIVE stars on any photo, this one is FIVE STARS all around. Thumb way up!
