| I think this could be improved with a tighter crop and a little fill light on the left. I like the candid feel of the shot. |

| wonderful job in seeing the light in such a way so that you could emphasize life and experience - i just wish we could have a bit more light on her eyes |

| I think it needs a little bit more light but I see almost everybody mentioned that already :) Greate texture though on the face. |

| As has been mentioned a little tweak with the contrast/brightness would make ths 'pop' that little bit extra. Am also thinking a tight crop of you Grandmothers face would make an excellent image :) |

| Agree with others about some (very little) lightening, but over all there are lovely things happening with the light - her lovely hair, the whole definition of her left side, and wonderfully, her right earring. Solid straightforward portrait. |

| The personal, you remind me, is most often the more interesting view of life. |

Time to learn some more! The basic composition is fine though I'd rather see more expression in her face, but this is good for a "blind" candid so to speak. Now you need to lighten up her face a little - there's plenty of detail there to be had in the shadows. You can lighten the overall picture using levels, but that also lightens up the background, which is fine the way it is. You need to just lighten her face. A couple of ways to do this - "select" just her using a mask or a lasso then making a new layer by copying the selection, then edit just the selection using "levels". You can also try  idnic's "moving the light" technique - there's an excellent tutorial in the "Learn" section. |

| Nice candid shot. As others have said, just needs to be brightened up a little. |

| Nice blind shot, I like the lighting but would like to see it a bit brigher overall. |

She has the kind of face I absolutely LOVE to photograph. I actually scour the earth on a daily basis looking for faces like this to take photos of :) She has character and experiences on her face that make her so interesting looking -- and she is still so incredibly beautiful. I hope you will do one of her before we are thru where her face is lit up and we can see more of the details of her beauty. But this one is nice too. It's kind of moody and pensive.

| She is lovely. Would love to see her smile. I think you could use a bit more contrast to brighten it up a bit. |

| Its a good photo, and i really like the half face dark, half lit up. What i would like to see more of though is exactly that. Maybe you could increas the contrast so that we can see the picture in a better light |
