That's a beautiful portrait. It says it all. Best example that a picture is worth a thousand words.

| Lisa looks like she is one of the actual untouchables. There are few among us that dance over the threats of cancer from smoking, complications of old age, etc... and just turn in to bad ass old folks that live long to tell many tales. I imagine she is blessed with that curse. SHe probably has as many interesting stories as she does wrinkles, and an equal amount of tragedy to bestow on whomever may lend an ear. I could be way off base, but that's what I think when I see this photo, and I think a photo that makes me think that much... is great :) Great work. |

This is an excellent character portrait for sure :) I love photographing people much in the way you have done here, and early in my decision to pursue that avenue, I had to deal with the issue of photographer 'fear' of people. It seems to me that most photographers I know are too afraid or shy to speak with a stranger and simply ask them if you may make a few photos. Most seem to want to take that candid stealth route. For the last several years, I have been working on a "1000 Faces" series of photographs. I'm a long way from finishing it, but each person in the series is someone I have interacted with in one way or another. Some are candid and some are impromptu portraits on location. But each of them are of a person who I have had some amount of verbal dialogue with... there are even a few celebrities. It really is amazing how you can briefly get to know someone and maybe even learn something by simply talking to them. I most often find my subject and start a conversation before I ask for the photographs and I'm rarely turned down.
This is a worthy pursuit :) |

| Your Portrait of the Elderly ribbon got me back into your portfolio... and found this outstanding shot. Fabulous composition, expression, smoke, post processing and a great story to go with it. Please... keep these street portraits coming... they're wonderful! You really have a knack for connecting with your subjects! |

you were right sandy, i didnt guess this as yours, i actually thought this shot by  mad_brewer was yours because of the filling of the frame and i thought maybe the title of "lament" was a nod to the recent passing of your father, i was WAY off but i did love this in the voting also, and congrats on another ribbin |

Incredible capture. My only nit would be that the blue ring is really distracting. I think I would have desated it...

Truely EXCELLENT portrait here, and this is one very fine CAPTURE IMO.....
This so looks like a Manny Librodo re the model/person, but I don't think it is, the same model, come to think of it......
Totally amazing, and so worth to be in the TOP three for a ribbon.....

Wow, a shock when you first view!
I think you've captured a '3d' quality with this, that film shots usually have, not digital. So great work with the sharpening.
As for the shot i love it and hate it. Its not a pleasent image with smoking wrinkles but i can't stop looking at it.

I think I have seen shots of this lady before. I would like to see the whole face in focus, specially her eyes, but she makes such as a amazing subject.
Post challenge: congratulations on the ribbon!!.
