This is an old lady living in Hampi, India. She sits on the side of the dust track all day selling peanuts for tiny amounts of money.
She was very happy for me to take photos provided I bought a large quantity of peanuts from her...
Her face was so wrinkled, so weathered and leathery. She looked about 200 years old and her rheumy eyes looked so full of sadness. I know nothing about her really, but just looking at the face I make a load of assumptions. I guess that's what I was trying to convey...
Go on then - let rip with your nice and not so nice comments 
Thanks,
Lianna

+ Wonderful detail
+ Great emotion
+ Black and white spot on
- Perhaps a little too close
- Detail on the nose seems a little blown out
- Could do with some more exposure around the eyes (nit picking really)
powerful contact with the eyes
mega detail - definitely looks 200!
love the beard!
you see an awful lot of these kinda travel shots - lot of competition unfortunately
I'm guessing it was in a cool location with lots of potential, often get more interest including that than just a face...
She looks sad - there's no clue as to why...
oozing detail
her expression
b&w conversion
Bit blown out on the nose
Would like to see more of her environment, to put her expression more into context perhaps.
logo (can't think of anything else!)
+conveys the great age of the subject.
+good details, especially in the skin.
+B&W makes it work well and is the obvious choice for the image as a whole.
-Highlights distract quite somewhat.
-Don't like the square crop too much.
-For me the eyes look a bit busy with reflections.

+Detail
+Eyes, especially all those reflections
+Good tonal range
- Tight square crop, would like to have seen some of her environment
- Maybe over sharpened just a little too much
- Logo, but this is very minor
