Hello Caleb,
This one is a great portrait. The saturated colours, facial expression, skin tone - everything came out superbly. Very nice work..

Unflinching, intimate, precise portraiture, C. You really know what you're about in this area, man. Sparkling colors and a revealing smile with just enough background detail to situate the old girl - an entire life captured...
Best,

Hi Caleb -
Your portraits definitely don't disappoint. The vivid colours and (ever so) slight twinge of shape distortion from the wide angles are almost trademarks now - but really the characters you find and the passion with which you shoot them is what really impresses.
Another great one
Cheers
Mark

hi caleb,
looks like she's only head, arms and feet! good lens :) (... and eye)
she seems like she's looking through you and strangely (for us from a so called more modern society ... or from what we pretend is a more modern society) wrinkles do look good on her.
nice vivid colors of her outfit against the tones of the wall. good job!
thanks,
dora

Nice closeup, full of color and of details. Good DOF that allow you to see where and how people are living.
Great shot,

Hi Caleb
A picture of the old lady, with impact according the way she looks and hoolds her hands.The blue dress as contrast in the old stone walls and scene is nice too.

Olá Caleb, this is an incredible portrait, as many in your gallery. I still have a long way, before I can pull out such photos. I almost feel unconfortable for the closeness of this intimate pose with her deep eyes. You are in the 'how close can you get' theme. Great shot!

Hello Caleb.
I was lucky you made critique to one of my photos so I discover your impressive photo galery.
Your portraits are amazing, one better than the other.
This one from the old woman is a piece of art.

And I'm glad you did take her picture....a fantastic one it is. Good use of the wide angle lens. There is such beauty and gentleness in elderly people. Great colors too.
