p.1 #1 · Very elderly lady Nik Silver FX

I took this shot of this very elderly lady a few years back and it has always been one of my favourite candid shots.

Sheila- this is a stunning street shot.
It also is a bit disquieting to me. Not sure why, but it's linked to the woman being incredibly wrinkled- and looking right at you.
It's the kind of shot I also would have taken- and then wondered about.
I'm not a fan of tinting generally, but it seems to work very well here.
Nice work all 'round.

Thanks Charlie. I saw her sitting at Sydney's Circular Quay and I sat nearby. I was just about to speak to her when she got up, foraged in her bag, looked at me and smiled and went on her way. A lost opportunity as I am sure she has a story or three to tell. I was drawn to her as she looked like a much older version of my mother who died many years ago.

It's in here somewhere - the black hole that is a woman's handbag

Sheila- the second image is also excellent. And the two work well together.
Funny- knowing that she gave you a smile makes all the difference in my thoughts about the first image.
A photograph may be worth a thousand words, but words can be powerful and subtle also- at the same time

Both are great.
Processing is superb and each is emotionally evocative.

Sheila,

These are great but are not improved by your watermark in the middle of the images which I find very distracting.

They are both beautifully done, and touching, portraits. Makes me think of Maude (Harold and Maude). In N° 1, I can't help but comparing the wrinkles, hand and forearm on one side, and the bag's leather on the other side.

Sheila,
Both are wonderful captures. The first looks just a bit over cooked with the yellowed 2 filter IMHO. Perhaps a little contrast adjustment with the filter would be nice. Just looks a bit too contrasty for your subject.
Love the second image and an excellent capture.
