Thank you but what kind of sparkling light in her eyes do you expect from a woman of over 85...
First rule...when you ask for advice, you need to be willing to accept it, okay? The kind of "sparkling light" I'm talking about is simply a catch-light in her eyes to keep them from becoming what you've captured...black holes. She looks like a vampire. LOL

You do what you want. The pic you submitted is a good compostion, but a bad portrait.

Then why did you post in the critique section?

No...I'm not asking you to fake your subject. I'm asking you to be a better, more knowledgeable photographer.

Maybe it's a language barrier issue ... You posted this in the critique forum meaning that you want criticism and advice. If you just want people to tell you how great the photo is go post it somewhere else.

You could be very right. "Critique" means, "Give me your thoughts on how to improve this".
