A Portrait on Women's Day
Manol Donchev here with another entry for a contest of ntopaz. This time we have the infinitely broad topic of portrait photography. I am going with a piece of mine which was spontaneously taken and I would almost put it into the journalistic portrait category but for the lack of environment. Which was there, I just chose to leave it out for this shot and concentrate on the face of the character - an elderly woman from a Bulgarian village on a holiday.
Good luck to all participants! I will be happy to have your feedback and have a chat in the comments.
Yours,
Manol
Very well done portrait in black and white. And this blurred silhouette at foreground brings even more meaning into final picture

Impressive portrait. Despite her wrinkles, which testify to a busy life, she radiates a great deal of satisfaction and humor. Congrats for this shot, @manoldonchev.
Thank you! Happy you see it that way.

Yes, and such people get my highest respect. And some additional words to your work, you had a good eye for the moment to take the shot. Hope I explained it well. lol
Love how you capture the emotion in the elderly woman's portrait - what a joyous smile!
Love the combo of the younger woman in the background, blurred, then the elderly woman sharply highlighted out front.
Beautiful composition, Thanks for sharing!
