Portrait of a great lady

This wonderful woman, a great cook and restauranteur, invited us to a super Christmas day dinner at her house. Then we returned for a late supper after a period of rest. She is the mother of a dear friend and after the supper was over I convinced her to sit for an available light portrait. I believe that the result speaks for itself. I used an Olympus PL-2 and did not do any post production manipulation. Just the J Pegs out of the camera using the auto white balance setting. Amazing what is possible with digital. But the important thig was that the food was delicious and the company extraordinary. These are life's truly important moments that make lasting memories.
