 A candid portrait shot. Yeah, I would have naturally airbrushed this a lot, but rules do not allow that kind of post processing, which is a good thing. I consider this image to be a celebration of the beauty of a young, mature woman.

I hope this is doing well - this is very real, very good - I get the impression she's a friendly, warm person, someone you'd be pleased to know. And she looks awesome, 40-something or not.

40 something is a great time... I can remember it, almost. Great expression by one who appears to be successful and self confident. Wonder DOF control and nice close cropping.
