When I visited a beach near the town of Baracoa on the east coast of Cuba, I saw this happy old woman sitting in a sunbeam enjoying a drink. She agreed when I asked if I could get a photo and her family told me that she was over 100 years old but still very well.
Her house was right next to the sea, so I fear that it is not standing anymore since Baracoa was hit by a hurricane last year that devastated most of the town and its surroundings.

wow ! wonderful light use dear friend. Positioning your model and composition Very nice. The little smile is extraordinary. a successful square shot at successful and correct settings. kadrajin is great! Model and I congratulate you!
Thank you! The light was just perfect, she was just sitting there; I did not even tell her to move!
Awesome! Love the natural light.
Thank you! The winter light in Cuba is so beautiful and this setting was just perfect to capture a portrait!
love this shot. Great work!
Thank you :)
Simply stunning! So much beauty and warmth in this shot. Let's hope that she is ok.
Thanks! Luckily, there were no people killed in the hurricane, but her house has probably been destroyed...
Und wieder bin ich begeistert von deiner Arbeit, einfach nur genial! :-)
Danke Stefan!
Deine Reiseblogs gefallen mir richtig gut, in unserer Discord Gruppe haben wir da gerade etwas in der Mache, um alle Reiseblogger zu unterstützen ;)
Danke! Sehr gut, ich schau mal rein! :-)
A beautiful 'tale' and an exquisite photograph thank you! May I ask is that a beer in her hand?
I thought so too until I posted this photo, then I zoomed in and realized it is "hyper malt". I googled it and it is a "Non-alcoholic, sweet, dark and nutritious soft drink"
I zoomed in too! I really wanted it to be the secret of her long life!! Nevermind :)
Haha, that would be great, wouldn't it? :D
This is really a great photo. You know why I like portrait photos (#potretphotography)? Because in each picture it looks various expressions of each person. One of them is like the photo you have Bung @jpphotography.
Thank you! What I love most about portrait photography is the challenge of capturing a whole personaility in one photo :)
Yeah, that's right. One photo of our portrait can tell what, where, why, how, about from the object. Go a head brother. I will monitor from every post of your photo. @jpphotography
