I took this picture during one of my visits in the nursing home of a monastery in Crete...The moment was full of very powerfull emotions and for a second i was frozen before i pick up my camera (and thats a strange thing cuz generally i can shoot everything)...I believe that so far it was the strongest moment of my short photographic life...

I hesitated to look at the reflection in the mirror exactly to avoid that moment of freeze that this picture gives. Powerful image.

Fantastic capture, I live and work at an assisted living facility and see this sort of scene on a daily basis. I love the way you captured the few remaining important photos and what was likely her favorite vase along with a precious life hanging on to her short life left here on earth. Nice Photo, really tells a story.

Comprendo tus emociones en el momento de decidir y realizar la foto; el momento lo requería. Lejos de mostrar algo cruel o morboso has conseguido enseñar un momento decisivo y duro pero rodeado de elementos cotidianos con lenguaje propio: el tapete de la cómoda ligeramente movido, las flores marchitándose, los retratos de una vida, la pieza de ropa que asoma, indolente, por la rendija del armario. la estampa de la virgen, la viveza de la colcha.... todo lo cotidiano, incluso la muerte, queda recogido de forma "normal". Mis felicitaciones por el resultado y por tu decisión.Saludos.

I have seen it in screening...
and it reminds me a lot from my personnal life...

The subject is for sure not an easy one !
but you treated it in a very decent manner, without any voyeurism behaviour
I guess it comes from the play with the mirror..
that's for sure a strong one !!!! that llos us to think about all this

FrankBa  That allows us to think about all this

This is a very strong picture, the dead walks around in that room, the way you took this picture is imressive!
Every element of this shot (the fallen flower, the hand at the bottom left corner, the face of the old woman, etc) tells a strong story !! What a brave decision for not making this shot into a black and white one !! What a shot :)
