Amazing capture, full of humanity and empathy. Posture of a boy, which is a main hero of the picture, is very well caught, very expressive - his ambiguous combination of sincere compassion with some natural impatience. You have excellent eye, Mimi, one almost can’t believe that you made this shot deliberately for this story, and not only by chance. Composition, exposure, focus/DOF are flawless.
This shot is for me an example of ideal which I wish to strive to reach.

That's the picture! One of the best I've seen here. Capturing the moment, you could tell a whole story out of this photo. And the contrast between the old walls, old woman, and young boy is briliant. Thumb up!

An amusing scene quite well caught, it's a good choice to show only her feet. The grey stone walls makes a fine background for the boys delicate skin color (while the grandmoters skin is closer to the stone texture ;-). It's a pity with the third person in the background the photo would be better without and from the nitpicking department I'd say that the focus point is too much in front, the corner of the wall to the right seems to be sharper than the persons (but not much).

Alleyshots in the sun are not easy but you came out alright! The boy looking down on granny´s feet says it all, we don´t have to see more of her to know. Very good capture.

It seems to be able to hear the conversation of a grandmother and a grandson. It is so cool and warm shot. I feel your tender heart.
