Fabulous and her genes are magnificent. Lovely bright vivid colors, well centered, detailed and shadowed properly. Wonderful photo and great eye viewer.
Welcome.

Have a great day

Comment from Bruce Heming
This photograph seems to have the woman's face as the centre of interest. The face is not in sharp focus but the head scarf is which detracts from the beautiful possibilities. I would have liked to have seen the face moved more to the left to allow this woman's face to become the centre of interest

thanks ; depends on what you call moving to the left....

Comment from Cephus
Very interesting character study. Lots of color and lots of detail.
My issue with this one is that the focus is on the head covering and not on the face of the subject. Although the pattern and colors of the cloth are interesting, it is not the subject of the image.

Comment from Kizz
Wonderful portrait! I so agree with your assessments in your notes regarding this woman. Thanks to the sharp focus and excellent cropping we see an individual with a lot of history. Oh, the stories that she could tell! The vivid colors of her scarf and background provide a natural framing for this lovely woman.

Kudos:)

Comment from michiganmike
A very nice portrait. The bright colors that surround the face would ordinarily be considered distracting, but this is no ordinary face. A beautiful shot.

Great shot. Colors, exposure and lighting are amazing. As a viewer, I see a woman of wisdom, integrity and one who can tell stories of her life. The wrinkles indicates happiness, sadness and living a life of good and bad times. Bravo photo.

A very eye catching portrait shot. The colors jump out of the picture and nicely frame her face. The age lines show she has been through many things. If we live long enough we too will have them. Nice work Fred ~ Steve

6 star presentation (no left) - fantastic macro portrait, your shot shows perfectly the carvings of life itself in this expressive face- excellent capture, fantastic crop - the way she is sitting in your frame adds perfectly to the topic of your title - super focus, hyper clear and sharp in details - I love her positive inner smile and that is what life makes precious
excellent contrast and lighting, color saturation and exposure are spot on- this face tells a story for sure - amazing shot, thanks for sharing
