I shot this early in the morning with the light comming in the door way. I liked the way the light rim lights her face.

door.

very inspiring piece of work. If I have to pick something, I'd say that IMHO if you could crop a little bit on the right dark side so that the woman was not that centered, it would be better.

Superb use of available light. She lived through tumultuous and heartbreaking times for the Native Americans, yet the pride remains evident. A wonderful portrait.
