This is absolutely wonderful. More glorious women this week. A superb environmental portrait - environmental in every sense of the word. This is a "composite" shot - comprised of several photos to give a full view of the beautiful lady and her interesting environment. Excellently executed too.

Penny, Nick's mum
warm and sunny, her personality shines through in this simple portrait. An excellent crop, losing the top of the head just draws us closer and works really well.

The patterns and placement are what makes this such a fantastic shot. the pink gloves make it for me too. And I love her hair.

Someone should have warned her. Whether it's charity mugging or the ridiculous hair offers, don't do it kids!

what a wonderful portrait. a really beautiful project by brenda, looking at her mother being active doing a variety of things.
This wonderful project is also a study of film versus digital. You may have noticed many of the photos on this blog are taken in a traditional manner, on film, For me, the colour rendition of shots such as these, a truthful representation of the cold window light, remains a compelling reason to continue with the expense of film. Next is the same shot taken digitally. The digital cameras often correct that colour rendition - it's called white balance - and they correct to an average of what the colour should be.
Personally, I like the blue one more, but actually it's nice to have the choice of both.

Wonderful portrait. Liz has put her subject so at ease, this photo is a pleasure to look at.
Peter
Lovely direct portrait, even though most of the eyes are hidden in shadow, there is a strong connection.
Bex
A masterclass in photographic composition from Andy. I love the way Bex is placed at the side of the frame, and the angle Andy has chosen, low down, emphasising the length of her legs leading upwards into her face. Also, great hair!

absolutely bloody gorgeous hair says biased mother...
Another perfect use of colour. The black and white version would be lovely but not as strong, the carefully selected composition and use of opposite colours creates a strong image.

what a great combination of strong colours with monotones. This is why colour photography was invented.

If I was going to pick one photo to sum up this whole project, I'm pretty sure it would be this one. This guy really epitomises Britain doesn't he. I can't imagine him anywhere else in the world, apart from in front of a Routemaster.
