For me the sharpening of her wrinkles in the face is overdone (white halos), otherwise a strong portrait.

You have a gift of keen observation and the ability to create a superb portrait which honors your subject. The simple basic human condition displayed in this is rendered beautifully. The lines & folds in the coat, repeating in the hands and again in the lined face & subtly greyed curving hair make a compelling study. If only,"and miles to go before I sleep."

I can't believe how wrinkled this person looks! Seems unnatural but captivating at the same time.

Wrinkly or what ? Good candid shot.

I love the extreme texture of the skin and hair. I also love the framming.

Right up my own "candid from afar" style. Great posture and a good 90 degree POV to capture the body language. I think a bit heavy handed on the Topaz slider which is giving the image some bad edge haloing like on her chin and bottom lip and either side of the black strap over her shoulder as well as more noise than it needs.

I expected a higher finish for this. I liked the closeup of two elements coming together.
