1.58 - "Needs Work" 

My aunt Ethel, gorgeous as ever in her 90s. And yes, the words, "Do you even know how to run that thing?" came off her lips right after I hit the shutter button. The look on her face almost telegraphs her signature humor was brewing. Sure do miss her, dang it. The cluttered assisted-living facility background isn't exactly ideal...once again she got the last laugh by picking precisely where to sit. Canon 5d MkII, EF 17-40 mm F4L, 1/100th. Thanks for looking and I sure hope everyone has a glorious day.

I would have shot this just a bit wider so that you can see the top of her hair. Also I would at least use a 50mm lens for close up pictures of people. Your Aunt Ethel has aged wonderfully though.

Thank you. There was a lamp behind her so I cropped in to lose it. Your comment is spot on. Thank you so much for the input.
