AT THE MARKET

This woman was hesitant about having her picture taken, but was

finally cajoled by those surrounding her. Comments?

Great capture. Each line in her face tells a different story. Regards, Howard

Hard to pull off,in bright sunlight, but that after all is how this face got so weathered, and you did very well indeed !

Great portrait!!!!

Good lighting and well control of background. Did you use hand-sign to invite a photo :)?

Actually, Alan, I know enough Spanish to ask in that language :-)...I told her I thought she was beautiful [the truth!] however, the woman may have only understood Quechua. Anyway, she finally agreed...

well captured life experience

In general, I refrain from commenting on portraits. I concentrate mostly on landscapes and do not do well photographing people. But I was struck by the image of this lady, her patient strength, and her reluctant trust. Some fill light would have been handy. But otherwise it is a good photograph. Regards.

Excellent portrait . Congrats Linda

Thank you Howard, Roger, Francesco, Alan, Baldur, Walter, and Marina....I respect and admire all of your works, so your comments are to me very meaningful.

Excellent!!!
