why?

I'm so in awe! Yes! Her face stirs the soul and inspires me. In my own love for capturing story telling faces, I have found that women are typically much less willing to be photographed than men. So seeing this makes me appreciate your work even more. There's something about her old old face that emanates a childishness too. Maybe the pouty lips -- something. But it's so beautiful seeing the contrast -- and the similarities of the aged and the young and innocent. And its one I'll remember long after clicking away to other things!

Oh Jeeeez! That is so beautiful! After having spent a week on the Pacific Coast last September, hoping desperately to get something along this line, I appreciate even more what it takes to get a shot like this. The weather on the ocean is typically so uncooperative for clear and still. Congratulations on perfection! So award worthy!
