This lovely lady was my introduction to Kyrgyzstan. The carpet behind her was made by her.

Hi Sue,

how nice - the friendly old lady inside her house. Nice contrast between the colors of her clothes and the blanket/carpet.

A quite unusual photo. Kyrgyztan is quite under-representated on this site, and so are photos of people.

Thanks for sharing!

A wonderful portrait,Sue!
A pitty it`s so small.
I like photos of old aged people and here I like a lot her friendly facial expression and colorful background.

Hi Sue. An interesting study, and also a good portrait. Fine composition, natural colors. The photo is on its way very atmospheric.

Hi Sue,

You're capturing well this portrait by good composition and excellent tone/clarity, so it's impreaaive to see the old woman of a gentle expression to which is sitting on the sofa putting on traditional clothes. The carpet which appears back and which she created is also wonderful by a good design.

Kind regards,
