Mary Francis

Today was the first really nice day that the residents of the local retirement home could get out to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine.
So, I had a small audience as I was doing a photo shoot across the road at St. Finnan's Cathedral. Mary Francis was particularly chatty and introduced herself when I commented on her lovely hat. She was quite tickled when I asked if I could take her photo, and even took off her sunglasses without any prompting.
Loving Mary Francis

Her character certainly shows - a bit of cheekiness there in the eyes and smile!

You have a knack for portraits. The B&W treatment works well here.

Wow, ladies! Thank you all for your kind comments. I had an awesome time with Mary Francis, and she is a real character with a great sense of humour. She even gave me her room number and wants me to go visit some time. I just may do that!

What a sweet portrait. Great shot and done in black and white adds to the clarity of it. Nice job.

Nice shot. So meek and mild!

@wordpixman She is anything but meek and mild! This lady is a real live-wire, and I imagine a real party girl in her younger days.

@farmreporter ... Well then, Wendy, your camera manner must have calmed (or charmed) her. Well done

Here´s my challenge: go through your fav album and choose one of the pics you have selected as your favorite and think what it is that you like about the pic and then take an inspiration out of the pic and photograph in your own way your own kind of pic that can be similar or something completely different. Most importantly have fun!
