Highly relevant, but in terms of technical critique the whole image seems washed out. I don't see any tones close to black anywhere in the frame.

King said 481 days ago:

First of all, composition is not good and as it is not a clear picture, looks like a copy of a calendar.

groen65 said 481 days ago:

I would have liked a bit more contrast. Pity the head-dress is a bit blown out, but it seems a very spontaneous portrait.

zulu said 480 days ago:

Wow! Great relevance, impact and composition. I miss only a little bit more contrast. In which country you made this?

George said 480 days ago:

An old face, but lacks impact for me. The light is a bit flat and not falling on her face. Focus feels off. She has an interesting expression, though, almost as if you caught in her the act of doing something secret.

eduardo said 480 days ago:

the picture was taken in China
Seeking Focus: I looked for a pale picture-partially gray, partially sepia.
Thanks nevertheless for your comments

King said 480 days ago:

eduardo,
Tell me please, if you don't mind, what is your native language, where were you born and where do you live?

Where and when were you in China?

I like this shot.... it feels like a capture in time. Old is relative to the subject. I get that she is old and wise... and that she has a good story to tell. Nice shot.

King: my native language is spanish, because I was born in the city of Cordoba, in the center of Argentina. Now I live in Santiago, the capital of Chile.
We - my wife and I - have benn in China almost two years ago, for 40 days, visiting many cities from east to west and also part of the south.Magnifico.
OK' what about you...

eduardo said 480 days ago:

To all friends: I have been readigs several comments about WST situation, which makes me feel sad.
Next time I will send a picture, I´ll tell what I was looking for, like in this one, purposely sent somewhat ¨ flat ¨ is because I wanted the old lady to look like that; sometimes it is ok when darker and with higher contras. Could not get details in the head-dress but was looking to her sweet face.
Thanks to all

You know, for me is like if she is fading in time

King said 480 days ago:

Eduardo,

You are Argentine! Splendid! The warmest, kindest, most talented people on the planet are from Argentina

My wife and I have visited Buenos Aires about 6 times. We love it there. Once we rented a car and drove to Nueve de Julio to visit the family of a friend. We hope to visit Mendoza on our next trip.

We live in Dallas, Texas. I am from California, where I studied spanish as a boy. I'm 62 years old now and my wife is 59.

Y, tambien, hablo espanol a la perfecta.
