Dancing eyes! She looks pretty spry to me and about to do a jig. How about saying she has character. Not that I'm getting touchy about age or anything!

Seriously, love the portrait and the subject.

Very nicely done, Sandy. The strong eye contact really makes this image shine.

Sandy, This is a delightful portrait. I'm glad you followed Patricia's suggestion, it speaks to the subject more accurately to my eye.

She hasn't lost her sparkle! Looks like the TTL fill flash nailed exposure exactly.
