Great expression. I wish her face was lit a little brighter.

You must mean before they closed the airports and stranded 300,000 travelers ... (just kidding). Nice capture of an emotive portrait. On my calibrated monitor, the face is somewhat dark. Would like to see her face a little more. Nice catchlights in her eyes. Nice detail in the hat.

Nice low key portrait. Very honest and a good character study.

The lighting and colors and great, very soft, except for the bright bit off the top of the hat. I'd prefer if that had been cropped out, it's a little distracting, but overall I really like it.

Who can't relate to longing for something in the past? Wonderfully captured, and the sentiment is conveyed very nicely.

Comment by K3Master:
Chailai sat and pursed her lips. She hadn't wanted to come to dinner. She was fine at home, on her own, tending her garden. However, Her niece and nephew had made such a fuss, and so she had relented. She had put up with their constant chattering, with the long ride to their home, with that yowling mutt they called a pet. She'd put up with all of that with nary a complaint, but when dinner was ready, and they had appeared with this RIDICULOUS hat, well, that was just the end of her patience. She had a mind to pout right through dessert.
