Kaushik,  superb  portrait, with blurred background . Light, exposure and sharpness are very good.

Beautiful portrait!

Very nice portrait. (I agree with Raymond on the crop.) Regards.

Perfect. Again, it would be nice to see any information about the subject; location, situation etc.

Certainly a 7, especially with the crop.

A great work by a great master!

I love the backlighting and skin texture.  A very dignified portrait of this aged woman.

happiness...  excellent casual portrait!

Wonderful portrait, so clear and sharp. Well done.

I like photos!!

You are in my opinion THE best portrait photographer on Photo.net! 

This is just brilliant!! It's not only 100% technically correct but your capture of that beautiful smile conveys such emotion that I want to reach out and hug her.

Kaushik...  A really exceptional portrait.  Beautiful color, excellent detail and a truly dignified pose... Mike

Well beyond the technical prowess, the essence of portraiture is to capture something personal. You always succeed magnificently in doing that. A striking subject with an amazingly charismatic face, bravo.
