The other text on the paper is blurred, maybe you shuoldve blurred the "EXPIRED" text a bit.. just to make it fit in some more Either haha

Why is she in a grayscale and the rest of the image is color? It just seems to make more sence to make it all color or all grascale. Perhaps you could explain.

I know its more cool that the colors would be opposite but I really wanted Momma to look so old and weary that is why I grayscaled her and added color on the background... I blurred the other text on the paper to emphasize the word EXPIRED... Now you know...

I understand why you did it, and this is one of the better entries. Did you try leaving the colour in her clothes but just desaturating her skin a bit, that might get the emphasis across but still be a bit more realistic. GL

I gotcha now, because everything old was in black and white. Then you might want to make the "expired" gray as well, since it's just as old as her.

RayTedwell & jawshoewhah thanks for your comments but it is my own discretion. Heheh!
