the lines in the face in hands the texture and glare really do add up to be a great portrait. there is something nice about the bum, but in a different way.
just gorgeous! And yes it would have scored better than your bum, no matter how much you love him. He is prety great too, but not as DPC friendly by far.
Oh, I don't care which of these portraits you entered in the FS! They're amazing! Important thing is to share them with us.
This woman is probably not as old as she looks and every line on her face and hands tells a story.
