Cold Snap
The coldest winter in China for 50 years. This young girl was so motionless, she appeared almost frozen, just standing on the spot staring at the ground where she had the gloves she was selling displayed. She finally looked up and straight into the lens.

She looks so cold and frail. I’ve been looking forward to your China photographs, bring them on!
Mark Hayward replied
Thankyou for the comment docophoto…
It was 8 degrees c and she seemed virtually frozen in this position looking after her range of mittens she had displayed on a tarp on the ground.
