'Old Mediterranean Woman With Watch'

I like this photo:the face of this woman contrast beautifully against the black and the yellow of the background. Beautifull composition.

 

Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated

Strong expression although I'd have preferred a B&W version of it. The watch spoils somhow the emotive content by introducing a cold and modern object in contrast with the aged woman.

I agree stongly with above image.

The watch makes a somewhat common shot special. I bet this would make a great B&W shot.

Wow

great shot, but it feels more like a news or documentary shot than a portrait.

The composition, both shape and color really help this. To me, the focus point is the hand and all else is related, including the watch. I would therefor probably crop a little tighter on both sides and top...Very, Very nice shot.

made me stop and think about this lady. who is she? is she sad? tired? have something in her eye?

 

really catches your eye and makes you create a story about her.

I came across this lady on my trip to Thassos. She looked concerned and sad, worried may be in pain. SHE did not mind me takeing this photo and had not paid any attention to my person. Seems to be deeply in thoughts. I can only guess as much as you do gays. I jumped on the bus just 30 sec. after I took the photo and she was still there....
