Everything about this image says old. Bravo, I like all of it.

Lovelyand tragic. She looks so old, and fragile, like she may have outlived all her children...sad.

very strong photo! i love the composition and the subject. the lines converging to the lady really draw your eye to the right spot. nice textures and tones.

Scary image. Those eyes are scary!

Her face blends into the background a little too much, but that's a minor criticism of this fantastic shot. High marks.

Everything here is old from the woman to the street to the building and the overall "Old World" feeling.

It would be interesting to see this picture in sepia...

Might be a clichee, but this shot really appeals to me. It's a little over-blown, but it's great.

Beautifully captured.
