Well done, sir. I agree about losing the jewelry, as this beautiful lady needs no help at all.
Beautiful lady, posed properly, with excellent lighting. A very appealing photo.
I will tell her of your compliment. She's actually still 67.
I've been working on something that pleased her, with a more revealing yet old fashioned look. This was taken with an old T3 workhorse that just keeps on going. Please be gentle as she is going on 68. Thanks, guys.
Maggie, these are quite lovely. I have no criticism whatsoever. Beautiful work.
Thank you, sir. I tell her 4) all the time. :)

I’m new here. My first post on Feb 11, “Comments, please”, was somewhat difficult. Why? Because my “model” is my wife of 49 years. I was hesitant to post her photo because of feedback such as the troll left regarding Katie.
Additionally I was concerned for my wife, not wanting some boorish individual to comment on her <fill in the blank>. That was why I omitted her being my wife. I will always see her through my eyes of yesteryear. It’s a shame that some people cannot understand and respect that.
Bottom line, Katie is a confident, strong woman of some maturity. I heartily suspect that is what intimidated the troll more than anything.
Properly chosen lighting can be forgiving, which is why I used this type. But you are correct; she definitely doesn't look her age even in full lighting.
This might be better. No head crop, but I didn't manage to save her toes.
She has seen the comments here and is frankly surprised and simultaneously pleased. Her face is certainly as attractive as her body, but she has concerns about privacy. Aware that the Internet "remembers" forever, and the fact that she is a professional who still works, her concerns about recognition are understandable. I have several other photos of her that she has not wanted shared in a public forum.
I have hopes that I'll be able to share at least more of this type of photo. Lots of ideas are floating around in my head that I'll be discussing with her in the near future.
On behalf of her, I wish to express my thanks for the comments and suggestions.
Wow. Thank you, gentlemen. As for the sexuality of the photo, that wasn't our intention and she did comment on that. As it turned out, it was a plus. She liked the idea of this being expressed for a senior. In person and other lighting, age was more visible, but her being in utterly remarkable physical condition for nearly 68 certainly helped.
Gentlemen, thank you for your kind words and advice. She has never done anything like this and trusted me to produce something she liked. I'm glad it struck a chord with some of you, and shared your comments with her as well. Since this is her first time, she was a bit embarrassed yet simultaneously happy about the reactions.
My first photo of a wonderful woman in her late sixties. She wanted something in which she would not be identifiable, yet still sensuous. i hope I delivered. Comments?
