Irene in Mono

It's been a bad couple of weeks for photos as we've had dark grey winter days , which are not good for photography.

This is a mono version of a pic I posted in the summer

Meet Irene again, from Arnold and District Camera Club. Irene allowed me to take some pics of her before one of our meetings

The backdrop is the car park wall outside the community centre where we meet

What a happy lady.

[KWind]

She has a lovely smile! My mom's name is Irene.

[Dione Giorgio]

She has such a beautiful warm smile, Phil. I don't recall very well the colour version but this works very nicely in b&w.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Such a happy lady

[FBailey]

Another wide wide smile!

[Ivan]

Happy photo...

[Pat Knowles]

What a happy looking soul Phil, she has a lovely face, great portrait!

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

B/w is not always my preference but in this instance it is. For me there's more emphasis on Irene's face here.
She looks very relaxed and happy and the sort of lady who takes most things in her stride.

thanks everyone for your kind words, i've not took many pics over the last week or so as I don't seem to have had the time and the light has been quite poor too .
