I was afraid from the thumbnail that this was going to be blown out. What a lovely smile and terrific eyes! It's not hard to get a terrific portrait with a subject like this! 7

They look it! Nice job getting them to sit till long enough to capture this. This was your one chance at this, wasn't it? LOL!!! 7

Senescent

I'll do this first so that you'll see where I'm coming from. On the portrait alone, 8. It's captivating, well composed, a delightfully expressive model, emotive.....and a fav for me.....

The bad thing.....I had to look up senescent and that's not a good thing 'cause I have a voluminous vocabulary. That may hurt you, but hopefully the extremely good portrait will cause most voters to blow by the title.

Best wishes for the terrific score this wonderful portrait deserves!

I almost just blasted this a 5 and moved on before I took a good look. The subtlety of this may hurt you. I had to look to realize that this seems to have been shot in all but total darkness, against a mirror, and the setup must have been an extraordinarily difficult task. I think you did an awesome job and I hope that the voters can see what you've managed to capture so effectively. The soft centered view of your reflection in the lens is just an amazing extra touch. You have done an exquisite work! 10
