This old lady is sitting near the main entrance to the Svetitshoveli Cathidral in Mtskheta near Tbilisi. There is a main sacred place in Georgia.

I croped the picture a little and did less saturation.

Hi Natalia
A fascinating portrait shot, full of character and detail. This woman is so well framed by the stonework - I love the simple detail of the cross above her - and her pose is natural and pensive, surely with a story to tell. An excellent observation of daily life, simple and striking.

Wow! As good as your Santorini stuff - perfect composition and beautiful light!

Very nice potrait of the old woman. I agree with sleon that the stonwork works as a good frame for the photo. I wonder what she is thinking about. Well done!
best regards,
Jan

Hello Natalia. Really good photo, I like the vertical format and the simple composition with good lines, the cross behind the old woman and her classic, hardened old woman facial expression. nice work.

Hi, very fantastic reportage shot. Natalia, Your photo is very, very interesting. Congratulatios.

Respectful portrait of a woman in piety. Very well done.

Hi Natalia
What a great portrait of a lovely old lady. It's almost possible to see how rough her life has been so far. A great documentation of this person
Well done

Darogaja Natalia,

This picture is of particular value to me since in this old lady I have recognized a lady which I also met at the entrance of the Cathedral Sveti Tskhoveli in Sept.2005. She has still the same white shoes and walking stick - please see my picture on page 2 undertitled "Patience". I am really moved.
Sposiba za etu fotku.
Pozdravliaju

J'aime bien la couleur de la peau de la personne en relation avec celle de la pierre.

Natalia - I enjoy the reduced saturation - gives it more of a quiet mood.

Hi Natalia
Nice composition with a good sharp.
I appreciate the scene of this old woman.
Well done.

I like that portrait a lot - the colours, the frame... Great job!

Natalia,
Une belle photo technique mais surtout une belle photo avec une émotion palpable. Un très gros bravo !

Hi Natalia,
This is a most impressive image. Despite the lack of colours, the portrait has come out very well. Your black framing goes well with the existing colours.

Privyet Natalia, I think this is a nice composition. I like the texture of the stones, and the one mitten on the lady's hand. Thanks for sharing!

hello Ntalia, a great shot here!!! really i like a lot your composition, this old woman may be very sad and poor!!!
like a lot old people from the world
thanks

Thos woman is a story in herself! Old, sad looking, waiting? Where she waits is a fantastic place, soaked in history I can see. Wonderful photo of a life in this place westerners know little about!
