I Want to Be Like Her When I Grow Up

This lovely woman is a marvelous friend and role model for aging. I did a favor for her a few weeks ago and asked her if she would be a practice model for me to learn to take portrait photos in trade. she agreed and yesterday I collected. Please give suggestions. Best viewed large.
She is lovely and you did a great job!

Just beautiful! I wonder if you could use a reflector (even a piece of white card) to bounce some light up from the bottom right? But I'm just being picky cos I'm faving anyway!

It's a wonderful portrait, but yes, the right side of her face is slightly darker. I would rather her be looking at me too. So sweet of her to sit for you :-)

Ah, what a lovely lady!!!! Great portrait!!!

Lovely! I think the lighting is lovely and she looks like she has so many stories to tell! One note would be: I wish there was a tad bit more directional light coming from the right to offset the shadows. That's my only note...
I love the focus, the crop & the tones. Great job and a great idea for a trade!!

Thank you so much for this reminder....I let my looks go to the dogs most of the time! My mother took good care of her appearance even when she was over 80...perhaps one day I will post a pic of her...^_^

Wonderful portrait, nicely composed.

Beautiful portrait and lovely detail... I do wonder if the "empty" space should have been on her right as there is where her eyes lead.

@frameit Great idea. I see exactly what you are talking about. Thanks much

I really like the casualness of it and love how her lipstick matches her sweater! Nice job Jane!
