The people of Sicily were so friendly. Everyone said it was fine to take their picture and in some places people came around to talk or to have their picture taken. We are on the way home now so thank you all for your critiques and I will start being able to critique your photos tomorrow.

Hi Roger!
Nice face. Beautuful old woman. Very good scene. Original portrait.
Cheers!

Great portrait, Roger. Her face is full of character and untold stories; the details of the contours of her face are well shown. Excellent pose with the curtain over her left shoulder. Nice work.

hello Roger
impressive Portrait
you have captured a nice smile. a very happy mood captured here. good colours,nice POV, interesting angle.
have you tried any experiment on to this shot? i would love to convert this in to black and white and dark the BG because the left corner seems light and sometimes diverts the attention from the subject.
regards
Manuj Mehta

A nice, and flattering portait. The natural light from the window is great, and your positioning of the wonman to take advatntage of sme is brilliant.

Hello Roger,

This is a very nice portrait of this beautiful old lady. I like her smile and how she's looking at you.

Hello Roger,
I must say this is a perfect portrait. I just wanted to suggest to convert it to BW as I saw You have already done it.
I like more portraits like this in BW... though I use more sophisticated way of transfer to bw.
Usually i use channel mixer than curves and brigtnes/contrast.
When I use curvses andd brightness contrast - I always duplicetd the layer because increasing brigtness - u usually loose details ib lights and darks - and You can easily get these details from bottom layer ( not changed)

Bonjiourno Roger !

A photo supporting well your note. Lovely smile of the lady well captured. I like the fact you kept the two elements at the right for a better 3D effect.

Like if you surprised her sneaking at you from her window (^_^).

Bravo!
Robert

More than beautiful. High class portrait image. Good mood and nice composition.
