During the trip through Vietnam I was impressed by the open young faces from after the war and the more darker faces who lived in that time
Conclusion stop war

Yester day I placed a photo from here (real nice lady)
I deleted it for the first time I am on TL
The I worked for 2 hours and created 5 versions
Now I am looking to the complete different versions
And can’t make up my mind again.
Random I picked one
Please give me your opinion

greoten,

I like her look and expression. A lot of sadness...
I think a close up would make it maybe powerfull, to enhance this look. I made a ws, maybe not a nice result ; D

Hi Ruud.

A face of life..a face of endurance, a face of pain, a face of saddness, a face of forgiveness...........a face of life.



Thankyou.

Stv.

Beautiful.

Wat is ze mooi.
Ze is niet knap maar in al haar eenvoud is ze prachtig.
Fantastisch.

She shows a lot of sadness, but at the same time a lot of strength. Like she has gone through so much in her life.

Hi Ruud,
Splendid portrait. I like the beautiful light and the sepia tone. Even if the eyes of this woman are brilliant, its glance is turned towards the interior! I do not believe that she is sad, perhaps, just lost in her thoughts.Very well done! Annie

Ruud, this dear lady, her face has so many stories to tell. Her eyes have seen so much pain and suffering. And you have presented her to us so wonderfully.
I like this version, but the closer crop is good too. But I think seeing her not to close is best.
Thank you Ruud,
Janice

What a wonderful portrait, again, Ruud !
Superb expression, lighting abd tones.


stay well,

You captured a powerful portrait here - excellent expression. It's all in her eyes and it's a magnificent shot. Sharpness is just right for her lines and wrinkles, and the sepia keeps the shot clear of distractions.
TFS, I continue to learn from you.

Hi Ruud!
I really like your picture. You captured the woman's face's expression very good and the chosen colours are apt and look wonderful.
However, I don't like the quality of the digital picture. It seems enlarged and thus one can see the pixels.

LoQuiero

ruud,
perfect picture.
