portraits Eleanor at 94

Louis You are lucky to know Her! Great portrait -the eyes tell a story- so full of life and friendliness - so I assume that you either know her well or She seems to like you - anyhow very natural pose - great pose/look resulting a fine portrait with all the tonal variety from black to white - my best greetings to both of you:) Hannu

She is a beauty. Bless her.

Thank You for the nice comments. Yes, I know her well. She is my mother-in-law for the past 28 years. She lives with us but is often camera shy.

Wow. Great portrait. Attempts to beautify the shot by soft focus, effects, would only degrade the impact. As a portrait for public view, its excellent. As an image within your family - it would likely be the finest. I hope you keep pursuing this kind of portrait work.

fine portrait Louis; a lovely girlish energy about Eleanor!

Brighting eyes, nice subject, fine portrait! Well done!
