Witaj Ghost,
rzeczywiscie typowa babcia. Ale cos ta bacia ma niezbyt przyjazdny wyraz twarzy, szkoda ze nie poprosiles jej aby sie odrobinke usmiechnela -haha.
Mysle ze to bylo spontanicznie.
Ale teraz powaznie, to jest dobry kadr, dobra ostrosc i podoba mi sie w W&B kolorze. Widac po
twarzy tej pani zmeczenie i troski.
Serdecznie pozdrawiam,
Barbara

A nice and perfect portrait with beautiful black and white tones. I find the eye contact much nicer.

Have a nice time

Hi Jan. A face of everyday life. The photo is a social study. The View of the old lady is ambiguous interpretation. It is the physiognomy of a long life of ups and downs. All the best for you in the new year, 2011, Wolfgang.

In connection with your "Mirror, tell me". It is a question of your sensibility, dear Jan.

Hello Ghost (?),

ah ... rather grumpy looking grandma! She doesn´t look very amused. Why? Because you were taking a photo of her? Or because life is hard for Silesian grandmas these days?
I like the photo. One of just a few portraits of European people. There should be more, imho.
The quality (sharpness, contrasts, ...) is fine. Black/white is a good choice!

Thanks for sharing!
