Ray,
This photo has a lot of character to it...the detail in the woman's face is great...the texture, framing, and lighting are right on the money...You have caotured the essence of this women...
Best Wishes,
Chuck

Thank you for your comments. When I get home tonight I am going to play a little more with this image. I am also going to post another portrait of a different lady tonight and I will keep you comments in mind when doing so. I REALLY appreciate these types of comments. I am not offended in any manner. Thanks!
God bless,
Ray

I am going to add a very quick PS adjustment of contrast to show what I mean. Honestly, I don't think I did a very good job on my adjustment. Perhaps you could play with it if it interests you.
All I did was a levels adjustment and then did a little dodging on the resulting hotspots.
I hope you do not mind that I tried to work with your lovely image. If so, please accept my humble apologies.

Wow! This portrait really illustrates a noble spirit. This woman, despite her difficulty with her eye, appears distinguished and proud. I like how her hair falls softly around her face, like a natural frame. I also like the position of her head...not quite a direct gaze, but still very connected with the viewer.
My only small nits are these: I would like just a bit more space on the bottom so that the entire neckline of her sweater was visible. It would help complete the compositional frame around her face. Additionally, I would suggest you try to increase the contrast just a bit and see if it makes a stronger photograph. Here, and perhaps it is just on my monitor, it seems too low in contrast.
Overall this is very strong. I'm so glad you posted this image!

I see she has only one good eye and it feels strange to looking at her eye to eye.. very good clarity overall, the lines of age are clearly seen...
regards...
so you were at Siquijor,, very interesting island and lots of cultural history..
