good capture and she looks sooooo tired. she must have had a tough life. the clarity is great. the angle of the shot of the lady's facial is great. the capture of the light is great. the image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall

Pathetic, down & out...
Aptly captured for the contest theme...
Excellent choice of subject.
Candid, not staged...
Impressive mixed media rendition. Excellent colors & textures. Interesting modification. Great lighting & framing. Thanks for sharing! Best of luck in the contest!

What a grand portrait - what gets me right away is the fabulous emotional power of this image. Your lady has had a powerful life. Great lighting and color. Focus is fabulous. Thanks for sharing and good luck!

Hi Anon,

This is an excellent portrait of the subject and the filter heightens the expression on the lady's face. I love the way the wrinkles blend in with the fluffiness of her greying hair. Excellent entry and good luck. Should do well! R

How very sad, and very happy that you share this with us it reminds us here in America the sadness people in the third world go through. I like you picture and how you darken the background bring attention only one the lady. Great work and thanks for sharing

Great storytelling ability in this lovely portrait of the poor lady outside the temple. You've captured her feeling of despair in this shot and I like what you've done to create the mood. Very expressive portrait. Great composition. Suzanne
