Portrait Contest Week 60
@portraitcontest and @axeman, This is my entry for the Black and White portrait theme this week.
I don't usually take people pictures, but these are from a day spent attempting to come up with senior pictures for Jim's granddaughter and her friends.
This is Gracie.
And I'm just a grandma taking pictures, but I do want to support this great contest!

STOPTo support your work, I also upvoted your post!
Good luck, my dear Melinda. These photks are really good. You should be peoud of your work. You are a veey good photographer...a talented grandma. 🙂
Most of the other entrants to that contest are professional photographers, so it's always a bit intimidating! Thanks for your kind words
Do not feel intimidated. The professional photograhers tend to focus on technique and quality forgetting the most important aspect: the feelings a photo sends. This is why I love derangedvisions' contest. He gives a fair chance to all participants.
These portraits you shared with us are very good. I can say just by looking at that girl's smile that she was happy that day. Just a single glance at those photos and you feel happy. And I think this is what photography should be about. 🙂
Dear Melinda Gracie is a beautiful lady!😊
Isn't she lovely?
Yes Dear Mel. She is! 😊💕
Great portraits. Nice helping out the grandkids :)
And all the friends that showed up!
Great job, Melinda! Good luck in the contest!
ha! like I said Melinda, you have pictures for every conceivable subject! And this was another great one!
I don't usually share many people pictures, but I do love these and wanted to support this contest. Hope some of my friends enter, too!
oh, you have friends? lol. just kidding. Well people love to show photos of other people so I'm sure there will be plenty of participants!
Maybe a couple! I do admire people who take portraits... Me? I do better with trees!
yes I admire people who take good portraits because it takes so much skill to make most of us look good! lol.
There is a lot of truth in that, I think. Trees on the other hand, always pose so nicely!
haha! yes Ma'am trees make wonderful photo subjects don't they? And they never complain.
Oh my...Gracie is so graceful..! =))
It is a perfect name for her!
