It seems like you blurred the backdrop in photoshop, which really probably wasn't necessary. It distracts from a really cool subject that is nicely lit.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

I don't really have anyone old to take a portrait of at the moment, and I came up with this after visiting the cemetery on Christmas day, while looking for something different for a Christmas photo.

jjstager2 your spot on with the comment about moving to get more of her legs.

Anyway very pleased with 17 for a portrait with no face.

A wonderful way to take a portrait! Very environmental, and very personal feel! So nice!

So sad that the elderly have to face the loss of their loves. This is a very evocative photo.

This is a well composed powerful shot. I am drawn to the lady straight away, but then I find myself looking over the whole area of the shot and thinking about it. 8
