I don't really have anyone old to take a portrait of at the moment, and I came up with this after visiting the cemetery on Christmas day, while looking for something different for a Christmas photo.
jjstager2 your spot on with the comment about moving to get more of her legs.
Anyway very pleased with 17 for a portrait with no face.
This is a well composed powerful shot. I am drawn to the lady straight away, but then I find myself looking over the whole area of the shot and thinking about it. 8
I really like this shot. You can really get a sense of the emotion she must be feeling. It feels like it could be cropped a little tighter with less space to her left.
I think this one is my favourite of the challenge... quite odd, as it does not show the face as a portrait should tipically do!
But nonetheless the composition, the purple color of her coat, the black stones, the shallow DOF, the perfect height of the sun, all together make this picture a meaningful portrait. Very nicely done!
