I am glad to be the first to add few words here on this remarkable portrait of this aged lady, well done exposure and very fine details of the face been brought out with impressive original skin tone, the expression is priceless and emotional, well connecting with the viewers.

Thank you my friend for sharing it and wishing you all of the best.

Good use of the frame in this capture. This horizontal capture works remarkably well, due to her choice of hat. Lovely capture of this hard working woman...Regards

A beautiful 'deep' and moving portrait, Mehmet. A lovely color combination of blues and white, which enhance your capture -- Perfectly framed as well.

Best wishes to you and yours for a happy and healthy 2011, Marjolein

It amazes me - such great ages these folks reach.  It must be from their very hard working lives.  She is certainly well on in years and I'm sure this 'weathered face' has more stories than she has 'lines of character' in her face.  Excellent portrait Mehmet!

Mehmet, admirable cropping, very good control of light & exposure. She has seen much, heard much, and experienced much in life. Her smile  & looks reflect contentment & happiness.
