 This is my good friend and my mothers sister Lolo.
She was visiting me for few days ( Iceland/Sweden)I jused the opportunity to photograph her, but she didn't like my photos, she thought I made hur look to old. I think she looks like 58 years on the picture!..What do you think?
She is only 76 years old and always in a good mood!

Tell Lolo there is no way she looks anywhere near 70 in the picture. You've done a wonderful, captivating job of capturing her kind soul. I can easily see her inviting neighborhood children in for warm cookies and a glass of milk. In this shot, it feels to me like she's just sat down and is ready to listen. I love the happy lines on her face. They speak of a good life with lots of pleasant memories.

The cropping on the left seems harsh and distracting to me. I like it otherwise.

Yes it does. This lady has an extraordinary personality coming through. I don't know just why, but this makes me think of Margret Thatcher images showing an air of authority.
