I see you had some fun with these old ladies and their smoking culture - fantastic capture, she is lovely in her pink clothing and has kind like natural elegance - super close up, fantastic portrait shot showing her face in fine details with all wrinkles and color shades - her face looks similar like her ashes stunning similarity - fantastic focus and exposure , your camera technique is perfect in detail , fantastic shot,thanks for sharing

Fred,
A beautiful picture of this Burmese Lady enjoying her Cigar while she carries the ash tray in the same hand as the cigar. Her life & character etched in her face. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting with superb camera techniques wit sharp focus.
Susan

Thats one large cigarette and she is such a tiny little woman. Like this type of photo when people are just going on with their lives.

Wow, that is some ashtray. You have captured the woman's weather beaten face and expression very well. All technical aspects are very good. Thank you for sharing.

And puffing away on her cigar! That is one big cigar for a little lady. A very neat people shot Fred and a scene that must be unique to their culture. Don't see too many elderly ladies around our part of the world smoking cigars. haha Good photo and looks like one that Olga might have posted. Well done!
