[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
whenever her family gives a visit to her, she thinks everything would be better tomorrow. this picture was taken on a sunday picnic and it was obvious, all she needs is that and nothing more.
You can see her at another pic which I have taken lastly.

Thnx for sharing.

You have a unique capture here. Looking into her eyes sends me in all directions of past family, present and future. To me, I feel she smiled after this and said "Ok, got it, can I go now?"

Thnx for sharing.

Steve.

Very good portrait, sharp and good POD.Is this your grandmother?
In that case you should spoil her as mutch you can:))
greetings...

Lovely portrait, very sharp and well composed. The tones have a warm sepia tint, that gives it a special look.
Bravo!

What a beautiful "speaking" portrait, Nejat, the position of her hands, really nice and a good DOF with the blurry background too.
What is she thinking at the moment......
Great !

What a nice photo to remind us of the elderly and their needs, excellent portrait, TFS

What a lovely portrait of this lady. The background colours are great and the portrait is clear and well focused. She has a lovely expression on her face - she seems so calm and is having a little smile to herself i think. Very nicely done.

Excellent portrait!! Everything is working here; the pose, the colours the composition. Very good work. Well done.
I've done a little workshop for you, I hope you don't mind :-)

Points tomorrow, ok??

Good portrait. Her face expression is very photogenic!

Very very nice picture,natural and well composed..I want to kiss her hands :)

Impressive photo of a old lady. The sepia / brown background and the soft colors in here face are so good. Here body language tells me that not everything is O.K.
For me this is a very good photo of a old lady 10 points

Beautiful portrait of this dear lady Nejat. You have captured her very well. Growing old is not nice for many people, so I feel for her. Thank you.

Really nice portrait Nejat. Plenty of feeling comes through this photo.

She is a beautiful lady. I love her wisdom in her eyes. Send her my love.
I like the sepia background did you do that on purpose?

Sandra

cette vieille dame est magnifique, elle a le visage de quequ'un qui a souffert, mais qui ne semble pas en vouloir aux autres, calme, réfléchie, avec la main gauche posée sur la main droite, quelqu'un qui sait prévoir et deviner, dont les rides d'expression soulignent le caractère fort de la personne mais avec aussi un léger sourire dans l'oeil qui lui donne un air sympathique

Wonderful portrait Nejat,
Indeed elderly people can be really ,onessome sometiems, and all they need is care and attention. No wonder she feels happier after the sunday picnic.
And you captured well. The portrait is soft and the light is great.
Well Done!!

Take care, Stef

Thsi shot is oustanding

What a heartfelt and beautiful photo! There's so much in this portrait.

Great portrait of this lovely lady. I like the way she is looking directly at the camera. The pose of her hands is very nice too.
