 just feels vaguely brassai, so the title's french as well. an acquaintance's mother in the legion bar during our remembrance day choral show - a whole lot of songs from the 30s, 40s and 50s.

Thank you very much indeed, Ed.

I'm not a fan of the noise but I do like the capture. This is one of those pictures that makes you want to learn more about the subject.

I love how the window behind her head brings out those magnificent curls...nicely seen.

Very strong image; I like that you've caught a sense of resilient loneliness here; a sense of holding out against the tides of trash and what I guess she'd consider the 'uncouth'. Strong photograph.

Nice image. I can imagine her as a pretty young woman in this same dress 60 years ago.

You've caught a really good expression there, the picture tells quite a story, as a good picture should :)

Merveilleuse. Her face, her skin her hair, her necklace, her dark probably velvet gown. Classique. 10

Very nice job Christian. I like the contrast and the grain. I hope you do well. Sorry I can't vote.

She has a grace and elegance to her.

could be a lot sharper and less noisy, otherwise very well done, she is perfectly positioned in front of the window

there's a lot of grain in this image...maybe some noise removal might have helped with that...
