Not much to say. She is a little shy about getting her picture taken.

It's lovely! The depth of field is perfect and the subject stays nice and sharp.

Thanks for the coments.
Just got back from Thanksgiving dinner at her house and she did express her approval. I guess that's all the feedback I needed.

I hope you do know what kind of a shot this is? It is superb, excellent. You've done a wonderful thing. Graceful movement. That's something much much more. It's a shot to be really proud of. I like it very very much. BRAVO!

Nothing more need be said -- the picture says everything needed. It's beautifully done!

The picture is very well composed an executed. Perfect DOF in my book :D

A fine tribute to 'less is more'...

I'm glad your mother shied from full exposure thus providing a most rewarding opportunity of creative thinking and composing instead...

Congratulations jbtaylor :D

Reminds me of Gary Friedman's advice to show a picture that evokes the reaction "where's the rest of her". Well seen and captured, I like the shallow DoF and the fine detail of the finger pose.
