Helga - 96 years old

Please give me your comments - and ratings. Thank you.

A face that has been "lived in." Something about the glasses strikes me wrong a bit. She may have a cataract on one eye but I like to see both eyes uncovered even if it means her taking off the glasses. Looks like a sharp senior. My mother lived to 99 and aways looked alert and never missed a thing. Glad you took this photo of Helga. She must have many stories to tell...gs

I really like the sassy expression you captured. I agree the position of the glasses is unfortunate. However, I suspect that the glasses have become part of her personality and most people will remember her that way. Given another opportunity you could have raised to get a clear shot of her eyes over the top of the glasses. Either way, it will still be a nice memory for family and friends, as we tend to fill in the details on people we know.

...cum ar zice Cioran..."ce umilinta sa imbatranesti"...

Really nice portrait!
