Old women at the funeral. I was invited to a funeral when travelling through vietnam. This gave me a great chance to take portrait shots of people (actually I've been asked by the locals if I could take pictures!)

Considering it's a portrait I'm just curious why you chose to crop it this way? I like the photo and I think the skin on her chin is unique.

Superb portrait, could do without the words, the photo for me says more than enough...toning and lighting is excellent.
