This lady is 91 years young!! I photographed her at a recent plantation home. Your thoughts, good bad, do this different.....

A nice image of a lovely young lady.
The only thing I would have done differently was to have her to turn her face slightly to the camera, just enough to see her eyelid.
Dean, Manglesphoto & jrw, appreciate your viewing, comments and suggestions. This may look like a staged shot but it was definitely not. It was candid moment I captured. I could not move around to get a better shot of the face due to large furniture blocking me.
Again, thanks for your comments and suggestions.

Still a very nice and telling shot
After reading that this is a candid shot, IMO it came out very nice. For me her folded hands give her a slight air of being an eloquent lady.
You've captured the charm of a true southern lady, Don. Lovely portrait!

Thank you for the kind words NJFrank. It was a totally candid shot, she was a tour guide during an open house at Gamble House in Ellenton, Fl.

It looks staged, so I would have suggested that it would be more interesting if she were looking toward the photographer more. Since it is a candid, that changes the equation. You present her is a very flattering way. I love the vignette. Well done.

Thank you very much for your high praise Erich, it is appreciated. I have another shot of her with a frontal view I will post.
