Trying for a time-warp here. 50's camera (Rolleicord). 50's developer

(Rodinal).

Composition is not ok, Empty space on her back, strange crop on wall�s picture on picture�s back and crop too hard on her hands...

You've captured her uniqueness perfectly. She embodies old-fashioned civility and correctness. Makes me want to comb my hair and wash my hands before sitting down to dine at her table.

And indeed, she was about to have hip surgery, but kept her composure at all times despite the pain. A matron's courage is not to be underestimated.

I like this one Ned, but with the 6x6 format, I would have placed her more to the right of the frame to make the best of the composition!
