PEOPLE, April 11, 2011: "Elizabeth Taylor: Farewell to a Legend"
(Photograph by Philippe Halsman)

Time and again, readers turn to People for our take on the defining moments in pop culture—and this year, a major story was the death of one of the greatest movie stars of all time, Elizabeth Taylor. The iconic shot selected for the cover from the archives of famed photographer Philippe Halsman, taken when Taylor was just 16 years old, reminded fans of the beauty and grace that would often become overshadowed by her much-documented, tumultuous personal life. With few words needed, this People cover provided a truly worthy farewell to a legend.

This is a really good portrait of Elizabeth Taylor, it shows her at her prime when she was young as a tribute to her life and death. This portrait is Formal and it is easy to look at because the background is plain gray. The red lips is great because is helps us focus on her face which is the focal point where the photographer wants us to look at. the lighting is good to because its brightest at her face where were suppose to look at and gets darker at the bottom where its less important. Over all this is a Great Portrait.
