• this is such an interesting image, the differing shades of black in the hat and the contrast , it is really nice. I have been away and missed your space Sherri!

• J'aime vos photos, la façon dont vous saisissez un détail, une attitude, une expression, un reflet... Comme ici dans "Genteel" ou "La dame au chapeau noir". Charmant. J'apprends beaucoup ici !

• She reminds me how it is possible to age with both grace and style. Wonderful candid portrait.

• I like this strong side view of the jutting chin and that wonderful hat. A fine and very effective image.

• Those eyes, hidden by sunglasses, have seen so many things! That's the vibe I get from this picture. Well done!

• i really like the light shining here.

• I like this shot, I can see why you decided to put it up. It's very different, technically her face is blown out, not quite in focus. But that is part of the charm of the image. She sees everything anyway. Makes me wonder about her collected wisdom during her years.

• Really fascinating portraiture and nice catch of the moment!
  Arnd @ 2009-11-29 17:23:36
• I like the expression on her face. Nice capture.
  Alice @ 2009-11-29 18:53:59
• i like how your processing brings out all the folds and shadows on the hat. i'm a fan of big hats. :)

• my god, someone needs to tell her a joke, quick.
  grant @ 2009-11-29 21:20:15
• Looks serious enough for sure.
  Ivar @ 2009-11-29 22:19:00
• Great picture, when I see this I think this and the other one are from some kind of horse or perhaps dog race track. Love the hat one have to have lots of authority to make justice to a hat like that :-)
  Frida @ 2009-11-30 05:30:44
• A wonderful candid portrait. The light is superb!
  Standley @ 2009-11-30 06:25:07
• that hat really has a lot of character.. ;) very nice shot.. :D
  rian @ 2009-11-30 21:47:47
• gosh, her hat has lasted such a long time ... she obviously really cherishes her belongings. I wonder what she thinks as she's observing.
  Diane @ 2009-12-02 18:09:33
• good framing
