Description
I had lunch at a lovely restaurant on the first floor of a hotel overlooking a beautiful golf course in the north of Bournemouth. There were few other people, and I was struck by the elegance of this lady at a nearby table lunching with her son.
As we left I asked her if I could take her photo, and when I told her what I would do with it she remarked that she wasn't sure if she wanted to become notorious.
I told her that it is never too late for notoriety!
I have posted the original on Flickr which is much kinder than this mono, because that is where her son will look to see the result. So the link is only one way.

A great shot but a bit unflattering.
A superb mono portrait Andrea.
interesting portrait
Superb capture Andrea. God bless.
Oh my, yes. I like both versions, but for very different reasons. I can see why you wanted her son to see the color version, but the b&w is like wine ... there's truth at the bottom of the bottle. Wonderful portrait!
Superb pic.
They are lovely pics.
Fantastic portrait Andrea !
I think I prefer the colour because it is more flattering, especially showing the colour of that grooooovy shirt!
Excellent clarity, tone and texture in this portrait of the obviously refined lady, A.
LOL@Tara's comment; both shots show her lovely teeth, and there is a world of character in that face no matter if you see it in colour or not. Well done, Andrea!
How nice portrait of that lady :)
lovely shot of her big smile. wonderful done
Two great portraits although rather startling. She is quite....craggy.
quelle élégance!
The FlickR version would be my pick also. Mono does that to portrait photos. Kind of you to give the son the better view!
