thanks for sharing this master work

Stunning portrait. Great light falling on this old lady’s face. Well done. Joe

Everything everyone else said.  Would like to have seen the image with not so tight a crop.  The face is certainly great, but with a black background, seems the black hood would have helped frame the subject and just added something.  Best regards...Brent

A realistic portrait!
