this pic is great because it evokes emotions....i bet she's got a story for every wrinkle on her face......

what a great shot..I think the B&W is the best for this shot..

thx ..and yes you are right, the original is a little overexposed what gives weird skin tones and doesnt look really nice, not even with editing, messed up is messed up lol ... but it doesnt harm BW, so i went for this one

I have looked at this pic many times since you first posted it and have never been able to put my feelings into print.

This is tremendous, a very powerful piece of photography is as close as I can come today!!

I would be extremely happy to have produced such work

hustler ;) u cant hide..we all know who the master of portraits is *points to jon*

but i am utterly glad that you like it :D

At least she smiles. Terrific portrait. Hard working woman. She has seen a lot of weather in her life!

Do I see a bit of Jon's influence here? This is a wonderful portrait.
