 She is mother of one of my senior colleagues. I met her
on a dinner in December. She is few years over 90 now, but
her eagerness and enthusiasm is insipiring.

I hope there is something in this picture that you may
find a resonance with. That is my only intention of sharing this picture of heres.

Good Day!

Vikram

I really like the angle the shot is taken at, you seem to have captured more of her personality than by having a standard pose, the hand in front of the face I think adds to the idea that she is deep in thought. Also really like the textures, well done.

Gravitas. I would like to know what she knows, though I may not be strong enough to bear it.

Fantastic portrait with incredible detail in the skin which looks like dried parchment. Wonderful tones, contrast and lighting. 9

Very cool detail in the skin. Eyes look really focused. Either that or deep in thought. This photo looks good in B&W. -BB

I don't particularly care for the composition here, and the way the harsh light has created a shadow from the arm makes it look like the subject is split in half. But the detail you've captured is great.

Great subject. Wonderful character in her face. Lighting is a bit harsh.

the textures are amplified nicely in the choice of b/w - an insightful and calm face, showing wisdom of the years

Good work on the texture of the skin, but a litle too dark in the shadows.
