March 06, 2020 4:08pm As other commenters have already said, this is an exceptionally good image.... so much better than most of what we see here on MM. From the out-of-focus foreground, to the subdued color palette, to the wrinkles on her skin... it's just superb!
March 03, 2020 11:33am I cannot comment on this image often enough and it is one to be revisited and appreciated time and again. This photo truly contributes more than most to elevating this site and ensuring that artistry is maintained. Simply stunning.
December 14, 2019 9:24am What I find most compelling and enthralling about your portfolio, Michael, is the diversity of images, styles, cast of characters, and approaches to the way you capture them and define them. Kudos on that, as many portfolios of master photographers on this site do not hold a candle to your talent. This is an inspiring image and a tribute to the true beauty of humankind. It is of high artistic merit and beyond the technical, I believe you have captured her very essence. Bravo.
