I loved this picture. It is like an image that you would see on the cover of Life Magazine or something. Wonderful, great, I can't even describe how good this image is.

What can I say, but 'Wow'.
>> like some Joey Lawrence style grunge has been added to this photo. Her face just looks an unnatural color. I don't think that you did anything to cause or enhance this in PP, so I'm not docking your score or anything. Perhaps it says something to the power of the photo that something that looks like it has been enhanced for effect is probably real.

Christ she looks old. My grandma lived to be 103 years old. Great shot, I love these types of shots showing true life.

Wonderful portrait, but the skin tones seem just a little bit off. Cyan colour cast, perhaps.
Post actions

Wow, lots of character in this one. Wonderful portrait.
Post actions
I'm hoping this gets a ribbon -- it's beautiful
Post actions
Your subject promises to be fascinating but IMHO, it's probably not portrayed to advantage. I would have liked to see more of her eyes (one is unfortunately in shadow). 7.

This is an absolutely breathtaking portrait. Usually I am not a big fan of cut-off body parts, but I feel indifferent about the in this case. Beautiful lighting and rendering of your subject. I can do more than offer you praise. 10.

Great texture in the skin! Well composed too. My only complaint is that the one side of her face is a little dark for my taste. I'd like to see more detail ther.

Good portrait but a pity that you had to cut the hand.

Beautiful portrait shot. The stories that this woman must have to tell - I can see it in her eyes. Good catch lights in the eyes by the way. Your lighting looks very natural - nice job.

This is one of those shots that can say a thousand words....the depth of emotion in her face is captured very well in this photo. I can only imagine the stories she would have to share.
Post actions
I never get enough of photos like this. The character radiates from this photo. It's amazing.
Post actions
WOWSERS! I am speechless...totally stunned. When this loaded, it literally threw me back in my chair (seriously). After looking for a while, I got my wife and made her check it out :-) I could go on and on about what I like about this one, I mean on and on. The title here is not needed, but yet it compliments the image without being pretentious. Composition, focus, lighting, everything just superb. I'm sure I will revisit this amazing photo many times. I go now to mark the favorites box and score a 10, thank-you.

And when the boys would walk by, I would brush my hair back gently like this, just to tease them a little.

Nice skin details and photoshop work on the contrast/color
Post actions
Excellent composition on this portrait of a woman who has experienced many years. Frame is closely cropped to keep attention focused on this lady. We see the roadmap of her years and look deep into her eyes. The red around her eyes makes me think that she has been crying. Also the look in her eyes, to me at least, holds so much sorrow. The poise of the hand is as such that it speaks two things. One it is raised to the heavens above in a posture of emploring "Why?". The second is of pulling the hand away from the face after spending time reminiscing about the past that will never return. This portrait invokes such a response in the viewer that makes us stop and look upon this woman.
Post actions
wow what a powerful image, I cant stop looking at it.
Post actions
this is awesome. i wish i can take a shot like this. that's the best compliment i can give to this picture. 10

This is the most exceptional portrait I've ever seen. Just stunning on so many levels. I don't have enough superlatives to elaborate. WOW I haven't seen all of the images yet, but so far, this should win the blue. Congrats on a perfect entry.
