| I was looking to see previous Candids and came across this. I almost cried looking at this. On a side note, I had the Nikon 995 also! I love the pivoting body ... Anyway, I can see both the young and the old woman in this image. I hope I get an image like this some day. She is beautiful beyond words. |

| Very heartbreaking, very powerful. The lines on her face and her eyes... Dyakuyu! (I'm from Kyiv but spend more time in St. Pete now - and babushki are one of my favorite subjects... Oh, and I love Lviv and can't wait to go back there again!..) |

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. Congratulations on #1. There is so much feeling and beauty in this photograph. I wonder if this might be a record # of 10's for one photo? I'll start a thread in the forums to find out.
Please submit this at bestphoto in the People category.

You're not going to like me, that a really great shot. but ...
Another week : 10, this week 7 ( to me i's a portrait, not a 'candid moment' in the spirit, even if it is not prepared at all).
But the shot is really great. Lionel |

| What an expressive face. Makes me long to hear the stories she could tell. The lighting is superb in this shot. The framing leaves me wanting to see the original. I don't care for how her body is chopped off at the left and we have that chair on the right, but it's likely the best you could do with the candid moment on the train. Stil, this is in my top ten picks for the week. 8, just-married |

| Priceless capture. I like how she contrasts with the white window (?) Very nicely done. karmat |

|
09/04/2002 12:34:00 PM |
| Perfect picture. This is my second favorite. Of course her face is wonderful, but I love to colors too. that green in the window frame does nice things for her eyes and the brown frames the green wall the way the plaid coat frames her green eyes, nice. I like the blob on the right too, It makes me think she's not all alone and without the abstact pressence of thta person she would be too vulnerable. I like that the window is white rather than sky colored or treed. The blank white makes a perfect baance to the dark walls and the dark coat. Lighting is perfect. 10 |

| A strikingly beautiful shot..you captured a face that speaks volumes. Can't find any negatives except maybe a little cropping at the top of the window. |
|
|
|
09/04/2002 11:32:00 AM |
| One of those shots that can live forever. The coincidence of such an incredibly strong subject, a high quality camera, the proper light and the sensitivity to capture it. It should win this week. |

| Wonderful composition! Excellent lighting -- how did you get the window to be pure white while keeping the proper lighting on the woman's face? This is one of the best photographs I've seen on this site in the last few months. I'd give you more than a 10 if it were available! 10+ LanSnake |
