Hah. I still have a Luddite flip-phone. The current version does have a
camera that I have used exactly once - followed by a couple of hours on
the phone with Verizon tech support trying to figure out how to get the
damn thing off the phone & into my computer. Wasn't worth the effort.

I have a 10MP point 'n shoot I bought from a pawn shop for $30 for times
when I'm not carrying a REAL (i.e. Pentax) camera.

Nicely done. I hope she likes it.

It's always hard to know how far to go retouching photos of older women.

Some of them are proud of their "battle scars" and will get mad if you
remove even one tiny wrinkle. Others still want to be seen as the Ingénue.

I invariably choose the wrong one and have to do it all over again. Good
thing PhotoShop has layers.

OTOH, I think I'd apply a vignette to darken the upper right & left
corners so they don't compete as much with the subject.

I do have a very good iPhone! Apple engineers kicked butt on this one. Right 
Nicole?

Thanks Ken. I sent it to her, and she was pleased.

You must have a very good i-phone 

Nice capture - she'd probably appreciate a copy.

That is a very fine portrait!

My wife has an iPhone 7+, and really loves this portrait feature.

Being a troglodyte, I still use an iPhone 6+, and rarely use the camera for
anything beyond images from Rotary meeting to use in our bulletin or
interesting meals to share with my son.
