[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [Spanish]
You remember when you was young? … How long it has happened? … What has been of your life in that time? … it give account you that the life you left when giving return it in the corner, everything was so fast that is not to you account when the wrinkles did not begin to flood your skin… nor the snow cover your hair… you were aware either when the fog cubrio your view… and after all gives account you that the life is a chain, and behind you there is somebody beginning the life, that in just a short time will be making the same reflections that your beams today…

Mighty fine Luis.
Excellent focus, clear crisp detail and sharp colour. Very natural and well balanced light, and skin tones perfect.
Her expression is priceless.

The only thing the spoils it for me is the passer by in the background.
You had no control over that, and who knows, perhaps you tried and waited and took other shots without her in the background, but maybe the moment was missed.

Not sure on the position of the lady in the subject though. She's looking into such a tiny area, and out of the picture. If this has been cropped for upload, perhaps a little more space for her to look into would have made a more powerful image.

I'm gonna give you smiley points.
I like it, simple as that.

Ola Luis!

Superb portrait. Contrary to Martin, I like this unusual composition. Your old lady looking outside of the frame, while a younger lady , blurred in the background seems to look at her.

You could not have a better , cleaner , sharper and more natural model.
well done,
Robert

Great portraiture, Luis..
the moment, the expression and emotion captured well in detail..
Luv the depth of field.. beautiful picture indeed

Unusual composition with your main subject looking towards the edge of the frame.

Fantastic expression, great detail - good use of the shallow DOF. Nicely framed too.

Hi Luis...

Beautiful composition...

Hello, Luis -
I like this compo - most portrait photographers would have more space for her to look toward, but this works because of the blurred person in the background over her shoulder. You've really captured her character - the deep wrinkles and intense frown, the carefully combed hair. Great skin tone. Unusual and interesting portrait - well done.

Me agrada el rostro de la anciana, los surcos que el tiempo ha hecho a su piel, su gesto, su mirada y la definición de tu lente. Muy bien, un saludo :) Gracias por el comentario de Camino sin retorno. :)
