Today, we’re heading off to a rural village in SouthWest Turkey, near Fethiye, to visit a lovely lady with a weaving loom from whom I purchased a couple of fine cotton scarves. Sadly, careless me lost one of the scarves on a coach in Portugal….
She was happy for me to take a few photographs, and I think you’ll agree she has a lovely face. And yippee, I got the catchlights in her eyes in the second image, which is so important in a portrait:

A peaceful face, Sue! Now, whereabouts in Portugal? I’ll go looking 🙂 🙂
Can’t remember now, somewhere near Lisbon, I think!
Not going up that way for a while 🙂 🙂
😳
Another face full of character. Those old craft traditions are always a delight to watch in action.
Best wishes, Pete.
Absolutely
Yes, a portrait always looks better with those ‘catchlights’. She does have a lovely face.
Yes, I was pleased with this one, Jude
Very nice portraits, Sue. Great close up, but my fave is the first one for its context
Thanks, Debbie! I agree, context is good
oh this is tremendous
Yay! Pleased you like it, Becky!
A lovely lady Sue 🙂 🙂
She was, Brian
Lovely portrait and you must be happy to have this memory of the maker of your scarves. It makes them so much more worth keeping.
Yes, I certainly am, Mari
She has calm written all over her face doesn’t she? I didn’t know what “catchlights in her eyes” were until I looked at the second photo…..very interesting Sue! I am glad you offered us both photos because they show is two different types of photos! Well done! Cady
Calm, indeed! And gentle
Two beautiful photos of her. 😀
Thanks, Cee…she was a great subject
Beautifully serene.
Thank you, Anabel…she was a wonderful subject
She looks so peaceful and like someone you’d love to meet.

Yes, a gentle soul

I am revisiting your post – first time read it earlier in the week, I was so taken by your sensitive images it got me wishing I could capture mood and emotion like this. I don’t usually take candies so this is quite a challenge. Poring over the Just One Person posts from the community has inspired me to try.
Thank you very much, Ju-Lyn, pleased I have been of inspiration! And it’s not about the camera, its creating a rapport with the person, however briefly. I hope you have a go
