Very nice shot Debbie. There is a lot character here. I bet each line in her face has a great experience to go with it. The glare on the glasses is a little distracting but still a 5 in my eye.

I'm glad I looked on, great portraiture well positioned and with an ascetically pleasing choice of depth of field. The darkness of the background loans particular compliment to depth as it brings forth the highlights of your subjects red hair and fair skin tones. The "tree?" in the back right compliments the neutral base of her garments and helps to project a three dimensional effect of reality to this image. Her relaxed shoulders and facial expression project a subject well at ease in her surrounding and I fine puts myself, the viewer in also in a comforting mood.
Very well captured and presented.

Great story(non-fiction piece) that goes along with this photo. The story of Willy is very interesting, and I will be looking forward to more from you on this book. Now, for the picture: The color is good, as well as the depth and the focus.Her glasses relecting a little too much light, but that is normal...great overall work!

Comment from photofreak14teen
Nice job the only thing is that the reflection off her glasses kind of takes away from the eyes, But there really isn't anything to be done about that. Great portrait shot anyways.
