Perfect portrait. Very good composition and nice-soft colors... Also a good documentary.. But to me the angle to be some narrow.. Warm regards, my dear friend..

Thank you all for your comments and rates. Some of them declare an appreciation and some of them tell me what I saw, thus reinforcing my idea of this type of documentary portrait.

And I agree with you my friend Mehmet Masum, that the frame is not big enough. Unfortunately Kakou cut a finger on her left hand and she was wearing a plastic glove on that hand. I thought it would be rather confusing and unhygienic to see the other hand immersed in the milk and make us assume that she was wearing the same glove on that hand. However you have raised a very good point. This is the original J. peg. And I wish she was not wearing that plastic glove otherwise I would have left it whole.

 

Great action-documentary work.Perfect lighting and excellent quality.

I'd be more than anxious to taste her cheese.

Warm regards.

Like an old Dutch master, excellent portrait, regards

Photi she makes the best halloumi cheese and anari which is a kind of ricotta, myzythra in mainland Greek. I hope she never hears of or abide by EEC regulations. There can be ecxeptions to every rule :).

Terry, thank you for that comment. When I saw her head dress and the little out house that she was in,the thought occurred to me, Vermeer in particular. A long shot anyway.

Wonderful portrait Dimitris , I like the original version with bottom details to.

Alina thanks, I value your opinion.

Dimitri, nice portrait! The original is also a great capture. I think that the big pot adds too much to be left out... The medical side of you is distracting the photographer when you are not holding the camera :o) ... This summer, I will have to look for Mrs Kakou, for her haloumi and anari!

If only she was not wearing that silly glove,Antoni and obviously I did not want to ask her to take it off and pose for a picture. Is not only her excellent cheese, she is also an amazing person. You are the third viewer to reiterate the same view and I hear you all loud and clear. I feel this is the main reason we are on PN. Thanks.

... very nice portrait ... (dear dimitris . this is the city which I borned & grove up paphos.... warm regards...)

I have a dream...that Cyprus will be like we knew it as children, one day soon,Inshallah!

This is the kind of portrait I like most Dimitri.

Great eye contact, unforced expression, precise exposure and really excellent natural facial tones.

 

Definitely an outstanding character portrait.
