Portrait of a Stranger

@CottiaC gave me the informal challenge to photograph a complete stranger - no side ward glances, no back view - had to speak to this person to get a photo. Now, this is the most difficult challenge for me but this lady in one of our local shops, is very photogenic so it had to be her. She very kindly obliged and liked the photo when I showed her. Feel I have achieved something very much out of my comfort zone so thank you CottiaC for shifting me out of that very comfortable zone!!

Nice portrait and we'll done for approaching the "victim", it is a very difficult thing for most of us to do.
