Elizabeth Bravo
Great capture. I love the feeling…...her concentration really makes you want to know whats on her mind. The back ground really adds.
Colleen Milburn
Gorgeous, moody piece, Mark – and wonderful crop – well done :-D
Stephen Nesbitt
Wonderful. I don’t think she is unhappy, perhaps just tired, but either way, it has us all thinking. I wonder what would happen if we gave so much thought to the people around us, would we approach them? Interesting. Anyway, what post production did you do if any?
Mark German

Hard to tell what mood she actually is in. But as a photographer, I interpret scenes as i see them. Photography is unique in the way it captures a slice of time, never to be seen exactly that way again. It’s what I love about it. We walk around in our daily lives and look at things – but not often see them.
PP-wise – just checking the original…gave it a colder tone to suit the emotion, basically. The original is warmer, but essentially the same.
Sharon Mau
Paul said it so perfectly. I too love how you set this up. It is a beautiful candid portrait of a contemplative moment.
morpheus71
Excellent portrait!
Abhishek Scariya
Love the cool tones here…
DeviousLili
Awesome work! Please consider submitting this to Moody and Evocative
Peacefulwarrior
Great capture…... another good title would be “LIFE” :)) nice mate
seawhisper
wow very intense picture :)
neekonut
You have certainly captured a mood that you yourself reflect… arrogant.. indifferent… excusing nothing about who you are… perhaps you saw yourself and this is what captivated you.
In my opinion… a very powerful photograph… to be a street photographer… and I see that you have a history in that genre… * set a thief to catch a thief*... or be as your subject.
well done!

A very interesting observation – and one that I cannot remember anyone else ever making. Interestingly, I think I agree with you about the motive.
Thank you :)

bobbymcleod
nice strong image!
Grantly
Her eyes say most…perhaps this day she’s tired and troubled. I can’t stop wondering that she worries. I suppose relative to some in the the world today, she is happy on reflection. It is wonderful to search the stories out in light…I cannot stop thinking.
Thanks mate.
