The owner of the hat and the hand is truly The Grand Old Lady, firm with the opinions, impeccable with the style.

Pictures taken with 70-200@120 and @200 f4.

Both stronglishly pp'd (obviously). The first (hat) have been treated with Lomo effect, and the second (hand) with a combination of desaturation and sharpening.

Any reactions?

Love them.

The hand is outstanding, and would make an awesome B&W as well.

I tried b&w as well, but somehow this desaturation gave a better impact (could though be my mediocre conversion skills :rolleyes: ...)

Thanks David! I was comfortably sitting on a chair, that explains the perspective.
