Gorgeous work and model! So soft and warm, so hazy and light. This photo feels like a hug from grandmother.

aw, what a sweet old lady! I do like the processing in this one: the balance of purple and yellow tones, the revelation of detail at the top of her turtleneck. The only thing is the right side might fade into blur a little more quickly than my eye expects. I think it's the blurry white shape that adds to this impression.

This portrait is so expressive. So soft and smooth and at the same time determinated. This is a woman who know what life is all about.

Beautiful tone, Duncan-san. Very nice!

Lovely portrait. I think this needed a tad of fill flash to even out the light, because the highlight in her hair keeps distracting me from her face.

@MontereyJohn: Cheers John, she's a lovely woman (my wifes grandmother).
Wow. Great clarity. I like the soft focus. One of my favorite effects

@Sheldon Hull: Cheers Sheldon. I employed a gaussian blur to the background and diffused the light here to give it a softness. It's quite effective at providing that soft look yet retaining enough clarity and sharpness in areas that need it. I recommend it for this kind of effect.
