Stunning photo, Galina ... this is a face that has seen a lot, yet she still has a twinkle in her eye. Probably was once a very pretty young lady. Life is tough for many, many people and this portrait seems to say it all. Magnificent ... voted

Guest		07-Jun-2006 20:55
the textures of her face and how they relate to her environment speak to how her life was lived - the light in her eye and the child-like grace in her smiles says how she lives her life

this is just BEAUTIFUL! GREAT shot!!!

Suzanne Chouinard		31-Jan-2006 16:32
This is a stunning portrait with great character. This old lady has a fantastic look. I like it very much. :-)

Phil Douglis		11-Oct-2005 21:28
Just by including that fence in this image, Galina, you add "legs" to this portrait. The weathered face and almost as weathered fence as context, compliment each other and express the point of this portrait: durability in the face of age. Both woman and fence seem to be doing fine.

Guest		07-Oct-2005 13:17
What can I add? A face that tells a million stories. Excellent shot!

Guest		05-Oct-2005 02:25
That is a great capture.

Ana Carloto O'Shea		30-Sep-2005 18:33
Ah... It's a beautiful work!! All the lines on her face could not take away the beauty of her smile nor the glow in her eyes. There are people like this, no matter how many years go by they still look beautiful. Thank you so much for this great work Galina! My most sincere congratulations.

Jola Dziubinska		28-Sep-2005 10:08
It's not the years that count in your life, It's the life that counts in your years... Beautiful, warm portrait, beautiful woman, too.
