An elder lady from Northern India, I have put this up in the past, but this has been re-processed, as with time , my approach to processing has changed .

Would be interested in your views.

Have a great Sunday everyone, ..wer'e int he house of cold germs at the moment..man flu are me!!

A quite remarkable piece of portraiture, wonderfully crafted, and processed very finely in this very fine monochrome makeover.

Somewhat surreal, and the selective colouring is subtle, Gareth. Effective, but probably only in small doses (notice the reference to colds and medication there Grin)

Woww Gareth, i am not into portraits, but it looks quite stunning, certainly has impact, dont think you have done her any favours with regards her complexionWink, Try putting it through photoshop or similar to get rid of those minor wrinkles and blemishesWinklol.
A cracker and well done Gareth.

Think this just about sums things up perfectly. Her face is a road map of life.
