Vietnamese Granny Photo

Photographer’s Note

I wanted to get up close for this image so that I could really capture the lines and expression in her face. I'm sure there are lots of stories behind this face.

A funny unhappy woman. I like the succesion of curve in this picture as her lips, the hat, the neck etc. The nonotone of the color is quite good.
Great,
Jean-Claude

Great portrait, very deep, telling details...
I think maybe the face is to high in the frame but anywah ii's an impressive photo.

Hi Spiros,
really funny portrait, the face's expression is excellent.
I like you close compo and the united colors (not of benetton :))
Maybe with the use of a fill-in flash, the hat wouldn't be overexposed.

Super exposure in this well taken image Spiros. Maybe crop most of the hat but otherwise a great facial expression.

Hello Spiros,
Your photo is impressive.
I am sure also that each wrinkle tells a history.
This person must be very old...
Your tight framing makes us "enter in relation" with it.
A very pretty photograph, very clear and very expressive.
Regards
Geraldine

Hi Spiros - very very cute, and so androgynous, without the hat this could be a male, the eyes are so engaging the white burnt out background becomes a welcome nondistracting factor.
