looks like a woman of southern Italy

Yes, she lives in Puglia

She looks a little sour in this photo. Is that her nature, or a trick of the camera?

Generally she is a sweet woman, in this shot looks sour because she's not very fond of being photographed

I think shes a very warm and welcome woman who can be very closed. I think she has seen a lot in her life and is a honest person whos very just/fair. She seems to pose just for you because she cares but she really doesnt like to be in a picture, i think shes too modest for that and doesnt see the use/need for it. I love this pic. She also reminds me of my own grandmother who unfortunately has passed away allready.

Thanks for nice comment Eladine, I'm very sorry for your grandmother

Thnx she has lived a long and overal healthy life and reached the respectfull age of 95. Many of us could be jealous of that.

interesting angle, but not very appetizing.

my stomach is turning I think this would have been better if you had taken this before you started to drink it because of all the chunks on the side of the cup. I thought that was garlic at first, not olives. Maybe next time, only put a small amount of the bloody mary in the cup, tip it like you did and leave out the olives. THEN drink it. The two colors together look neat though.

Nice try to do something a little different... but this does not look very inviting

very cool Mary...good luck author

Lovely. The material looks very unusual. Any chance you know what it was made from?

Not sure, Sheri, probably plaster..

Thanks Kyricom for your note

I am not overly religious, but I hate to see this 'tacky' sort of presentation, using lights and cr@p the way they do here.

great shot IMO

Love the tones in this.

very very effective shot...best of luck author

thank you guys for comments
ade, I kind of agree with you, but I have to admit that lightning was good for taking picture
