A proud demeanor, doesn't look too comfortable, however. Very nice portrait. #5654305

Unbelievable. I feel very sad for these women because I cannot wait each day to reach home after work--and the first thing I do is take off all jewelry, for comfort. This photo is beautifully done, Min.

I think she is proud for all her rings. Love the confident look in her wonderfuly aged face. She truly looks content! Lisa #5702825
