Thanks for the feedback, Malcolm. I do sympathize with her plight. In some ways, shooting her felt somewhat akin to taking pictures of the homeless.
've since deleted the photo from my page. I've done that for purely practical reasons. I frequently show my photo.net pages to prospective clients, and I know i've sent a few there in recent weeks. Any photo that receives a preponderance of negative responses gets the ax -- whether I like it or not. It's just good business.
