Very nice. I can imagine the stories she must have.

Great expression evoking her recalling some long forgotten memory.

I would have liked to have seen greater composition. The lampshade growing out of her head and the glass display IMO not good. I feel sure there is a better portrait there somewhere with this sitter.

I bet she is actually telling you about something that happened years ago.

Nicely captured, but shame about the colour cast. The object behind your subject\'s head is distracting. Don\'t like the glare in the reflection of the cabinet. 5

this is a great response to the challege, a beautiful woman, and a nice use of light
especially with the satiny effect of her blouse

Probably would have rated higher if this were taken at a different angle, or if the hand in the foreground was in focus.
All in all, gotta love grandma :)

Nice shot... although the focus on the near and far is not so clear.
