I can only say "Wow", what a character! Such an incredibly perfect combination of details and emotions. Her face looks like an opened lifebook, you can reed and find every time some new stories and it's jist an endless process. Haven't seen you for ages, decided to stop by pnet for a minute and here we are! Excellent portrait! Optimal DOF,tonal range, and contrast effectively isolate the main subject and focus the viewer's eye on her face without botheribg by the BG which, in turn, adds to understanding of her environment. I guess you've captured an essence pretty well. It's also a nice report about your travel.

 

Happy New year! Wish you and family all the best in 2007 and want to see more images like this.

Cheers, Vlad.

I can't really add something to the previous critique (except that I'm a little late here to wish you an happy 2007:)

extraordinary work, Galina.

Nice one. A good face and a good expression. I also like the fact that we see a bit of the place where she probably lives. Consistent with her wrinkles. This larger angle adds a little something compared to your tighter portraits, I think. Regards.
