Character Portrait

This is Annie Leibovitz's photograph of the Queen of England that some call the "Munster Queen." I think I like this so much because of the way the lighting and her facial expression work together. Apparently it was stormy weather when this way taken, and the overcast skies add a dark scene to an already very stern expression from the Queen. Ever since I saw the movie "The Queen" I can't help but think of the queen as this controlling and unaffectionate woman (whether or not she really is), but I think that this shows her in that character.
