 A wonderful native American woman who visits me at work at City Hall every week. I think she's classic, timeless & beautiful!

While portraits aren't my "thing," I was happy with this one....hope the voters are too! Only took 4 pics total, outside on on bench...gave her $5 to go get lunch on me.

I think this image is a bit to contrasty, the shirt is a bit distracting too... vertical lines in the shirt, horizontal lines in the background. it seems to be over processed too, (just that her wrinkles seem way to dark...)

great expression; the contrasts b/tw her blouse, the bricks. her hair & the skin on her chest & her face work all well together; all the lines bring it back to her lovely face!

great character, nice connection with her, the blouse and brick wall seem very busy taking away from her some

There is a lot of character and experience in her face. She blends into the brick wall. Great photograph.

Nice, simple portrait. I really can see the "dreaming" look..great job.

Nice study. The brick background is a bit distracting and cold for the story.

Wow, is her hair really that color? It almost looks green! The face is incredibly well lit, however, and I like the pattern choices with the shirt and bricks. 8.

A very honest (if unflattering) capture.
