This is the best one of all. outstanding shot and the barrel lens makes it work really well.
 
It is a gorgeous portrait, with some really fantastic highlights. There is a very real presence in this frame. Well done!
 
Superb. Love the gaze and hands. I second what Thomas said about the highlights.
 
Great portrait. Even before I read your particulars I said to myself, this Lady was here before TV, and many other modern day inventions. Then after studying your photograph for quite sometime my eyes were drawn to confirm my hunch Marie had been a long time resident of Planet Earth. I was satisfied that this image had provoked much thought and some emotion in me. Your capture is priceless. I could go on with the typical critique but in this case, I can only say your photograph has moved me deeply. A magnificent job my friend, in my opinion you nailed it in more ways than one. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Ciao,

Very well done. I did a bunch of circular work on 8x10 about 10 years ago. It's a great diversion from the norm...
