Every wrinkle tells a story, that is true. This is how to grow old gracefully, portrait of my dear mama, charming old lady with a silvered hair, 85 years of age.

Beautiful portrait.
The high contrast accentuates the skin characteristics well.
I quite like the off centre crop which isn't typical for this sort of portrait.
