For the photo of the granny's hands, I found this place in kampong bahru when my dad drove past. I really like the nice blue windows and the interesting pinkish purple flowers so I thought I could try taking my granny hands at this place. I like the look and ambience of this place a lot. My dad said that my great grandfather used to live around this area. I thought the surrounding gives a nostaligic mood to the photo. Other than taking the hands, I wanted to capture a peaceful mood. Hopefully when people sees the photo, they can visualize an old lady living in this surrounding. Of all the shots, these 2 were my favourite.

I had some comments to improve, maybe to desaturate the flowers so that they wouldn't look so pink and distract the attention away from the hands. I agree that the pink flower stands out in the picture as well. So I tried changing the saturation. But after doing so I thought the photo doesn't contain a certain essence which I wish to portray. Mr Reddy's said the pink flowers might be attention grabbing at the first glance but its presence provides some balance for the photo as well. I decided to keep it as it is. On a side note, I realize that sometimes when I play around with photoshop, I come to a point when I lose my judgment about my photo and get very confused over what I want. Guess its something I will learn more along the way. Anyway, I appreciate all comments given! :)
