Yes she is my mother & thanks a lot for appreciating this image. I was knowing before submitting that this image is not having anything dramatic to get really very high votes but I like the simplicity very much. I think this is her best portrait I have taken until yet. She is laughing on some cracked joke & she is looking towards my father.
Just for a note she has recovered from some health problems recently. She is from Hindu community & the dot/Bindi is representing that.

Well not bad I should say. Thanks a lot all commentators & voters. Wishing you a very happy new year.

Nice natural looking portrait. Something bothers me a little bit about the direction she's looking...I think there's not enough negative space at her right or something...Sorry I can't put my finger on it, but it's pretty good otherwise!
