Thanks a lot again for your kind comments and top rating;

Comment from Life is but a dream.
You and I could do a book together of these women.

I see you didn't let your daughter touch this one and it is a nice traditional portrait sooc presentation.

I like the colour of her clothes, so youthful in comparison to her and the way the light hits her from the side gives flush to the time of day...and the warmth of the day...so there is a story here which you are true in capturing with your images often.

The background is somewhat blurred but enough to hold our interest and we can see a wooden structure of planks which is no doubt her home.

This is a very nice comfortable image supergold. I like it a lot and you might do quite well in that contest.
