Title Ideas:
Years, Mormor, Wisdom of an Elder, Beauty of Age, 80 Years Young, Still Young,

This is my Mormor (Danish for Mother's Mother). She was just trying this outfit on for the family when I ran up and got my camera. I took her outside and got what shots I could before she wanted to quit.

This was sort-of inspired from the shot 'Living on Faith'.

post: levels, curves, cloned out extra debris, darkening the black, cropped to square, sharpening, hand blurring, border.

Beautiful portrait and nicely composed with the blackness to left and tree trunk to right. Congratulations on capturing the expression and seeing so much detail. Effective entry at a high standard.

Good portrait,I like the way the ladys` head is tilted (simple things which make a huge difference) Good clutter free background and nice complimentary colours in the clothing.
Very well done.

Excellent portrait. I like her smile and the twinkle in her eyes. The way her head is cocked really takes away the years. Good Shot.

What a superb portrait. Love the skin tones and the clarity, the dark background, the lighting and the smile!
