Elmira

Elmira is a black and white picture of a woman in her late thirties or early forties. In this picture she is alone, with no other surroundings besides the open sky. She is wearing a bonnet that looks really rugged, her hair is wispy and in her face. Elmira's eyes are piercing, they look really sad. She is also wearing a terry cloth coat, I assume this picture was taken when it was cold. Her face is a little dirty as if she works outside. There are so many assumptions that can be made why Elmira looks so sad, but I believe it looks like she's lost a loved one.

Good job! You helped me "paint a mental image" of this photograph.

I liked the comments about "pierced eyes" and such. Great imagery.
