Very good portrait, tones and expression. 7/7 an and my best regards.

She is beautiful! I cannot stop looking at her eyes. I really appreciate the joy you capture, even where there is hard times. It is not deceptive but rather, encouraging. There is still hope. Incredible light and perfect tones with just a hint of colour. Superb

Great portrait, Sonali, full of the truth about the life - hard but staying happy. Very good work 7/7

Nice portrait - very symathic smile - ...and thanks for your rating! Regards! CL

congratulation, very nice shot, i think she will be a kind and lovely old woman.6/6

Thank you everybody for your comments and appreciations. I have not removed the dark patches in her teeth, the whiteness of the greying hairs in the sides of her face, for those marks the hardship she has undergone throughout her life. And yet she is lovely with her smile and the red ribbon that she wore on her hair. I appreciate that you liked it. I am submitting the colored version of this photo for your comments. Thank you all.

This one is by far the better. A well deserved 7/7.

Very good portrait..nicely cropped....Regards

Good, but, for me, in this case, the better one, is the colored version!...Ciaomau!
