Hi Tina
This is an interesting report on the life in Java. I have never seen before this.
Beautifull portrait with a nice expression on the face

Hi Tina,

Beautiful portrait of this old lady but "a bit of tobacco" is a bit of an under-statement! Wonderful colours and textures - the green background really goes well with the colours of the skin. Good detail and nice lighting too.

Regarding composition I think horizontally the lady is very well placed but I think you have cropped a little close to the bottom of her chin in my opinion. Personally I would like to see a little more space beneath her chin and the edge of the frame. Not much, but a tiny bit more. Great shot though, well done!

Have a nice weekend,

Rich

lovely glint in her eye. I have heard of chewign tobacco, but this is ridiculous. Nice framing Tina.

Classic Tina. Horizontal portrait documenting the life somewhere in deep Asia. But that is an understatement. What gives this image your unique touch is the expression that you capture... the reflection of the soul. Great job,
Regards,
Enrique

Hi Tina,
Magnificent portrait!
I like so much the close approach you made, and all the details got on the woman's face.
It works pretty well the contrast made by the warm colours of the face and the others at the wall.
So interesting the way she have the tobacco, and the shine on her eyes.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

Tina -
I just spotted your latest photo - what a bizarre shot. What a lot of tobacco! This shot is technicaly beautiful too, clarity, focus and lighting.

Well done,
Dave.

Hi Tina,
This is a superb portrait with fantastic contrast between the woman's face and the cool blue background. I like the humorous side to her chewing a HUGE amount of tobacco. Well captured.

Good human study. Very well caught expression on ladies face enhanced with simple background.
I just think that your cropping is too tight and including a bit more of womans shoulders would be good.

Hi Tina,
what a beautiful and funny portrait of the old lady.
Maybe she wants / needs a bit to much of the stuff.
Very nice image,
Nino.

Hello Tina,

Portrait un peu particulier avec cette boule de tabac dans la bouche mais la cadrage panoramique en plan serré avec ce mélange de couleurs, superbe ! Bravo.
