My dear maltese friend.

For this photo I used poster-edge filter.

The true life capture with telling expression. Nicely done.

very nice shot!! congrats

This is one of the most charming shots I have seen in a while. That said, I do not like the post processing and I am not sure what you were trying to do by processing it in this way.

Good idea.

Beautiful shot, I love it, excellent atmosphere. Nice to se your great work again, Ellen.

 

Regards.

Superb character study Ellen, it's great how you have shown this dear old lady surrounded by her life's collection of knick-knacks....Regards

It is a picture with a story about the life of this lovely old lady. very wll done, despite the difficult light. groeten, hans

Wonderful capture of the moment. I would suggest a much tighter crop on this great image.

Ellen, what a fantastic subject for a very good environmental portrait. At her advanced age it clearly shows the "Love" of her daily life.

As someone else had mentioned, I would crop this much tighter to remove a lot of background clutter. It'll make her so much stronger

Lovely image, full of detail and atmosphere. Regards, my dear.

Een werkelijk prachtige opname, Ellen!

Fantastic photo Ellen. Congratulations, Fritz

 

a beautiful friend in a house full of precious...

Ellen, very very very beautiful, groetjes Jana

I like the image because of the story it tells. The scene has a character and richness to it. I can't agree on doing a much tighter crop, because what may seem like clutter at first look appears to give clues about the subject's life, her faith, her love of beauty, love of family, the simplicity of her lifestyle. It brings me to imagine a whole spectrum from her view of the world, to the past experiences and passions that made her what she is.

An striking image! The texture in the wall makes it look a bit surreal, and I like the outcome. Best regards!

Just one word -- Excellent! Thanks for sharing

Congratulations for this image and thanks for sharing it.

It really got a message and transpires a lot of emotions regarding life as a whole.

Really tender and moving.

Beautiful and tender scene, Ellen. The details, colors and treatment are unique. Lovely old woman. Warm regards!

Ellen, very good composition,exposure and light.I like the natural stance of your friend in front of the cage.

 

 

You know Ellen...talking about old ladies...she is as adorable as they get....

Incredible clarity. I love the lighting and details here. It looks like a perriod image. The foors ans artifacts arround. The fridge and of course the main character.

Terrific image. Did you tried it in Black and white? I would...

Best regards,

Alex

Really beautiful photograph with perfect composition and editing pricesSed, I like her kind face more than all in this photograph, she looks really kind and peaceful lady...Best wishes to you and your maltese friend

It is a very interesting photo with a lot of information, Her age, and what she has accumulated during what looks a good long life. As it is, our accumulated objects and surrounding are really representing us and our interests during our life time. It all shows here.It is a bit busy with ellements but a very genuine story and work of yours.

 

As a technical effect I like the angle , shapes , and diagonal floor tiles , leading us in,to the way she stands near all the interest subject in her life. The light comming especially from the R( or upper part ) and the shadows it cast are softly lighting the scene.The only small nit I have is the very dark shadow under the table , selectively lightinhg it a tiny bit (PS, I tried it....;-)) )will even enhance this very nice documentary photo. I observed it for a long time, thanks.
