then the message came through clearly, Ray. That is the way that I look at my mother. She is bigger than life itself. She is life.

the angle of this portrait reminds me of my mother, the looking up with reverence and pride. her looking down with wisdom, strength, compassion and understanding. great job one of my favorites.

Oh, and aside from all the I mentioned previously.... this is also very well done, technically! Great focus, DOF, bokeh and exposure!

Wow! What an amazing portrait! I cannot believe this photo has not recieved more attention!
First of all, the colors are gorgeous and are very fitting for the season. Everything from the leaves in the background, that fill the frame so nicely, to the tone of her skin and the color of her sweater all harmonize so well!
I love the perspective, it definitely makes this an interesting and creative portrait. I also think that this perspective gives the photo that "larger-than-life" feel that you describe because you are looking up to her rather than directly at her, head on, or down on her.
Then there is her face. A face of wisdom and character. So much to be seen in her expression, her eyes and in every well earned line and wrinkle on her face.
Really excellent, Luke! I love unique and interesting portraits, and this is definitely one of them!
