Wanderer, Nepal.
Sadly this woman is ‘homeless’ wandering the streets of Bhaktapur, Nepal. I was sitting in the square and she came in range of my camera.

Roz McQuillan
Ditto! But love the colour harmonies.
rochelle replied
thanks Roz – i like the colours – i was going to to cut in hard to her face and then thought about the context and so left it as taken
inge

rochelle replied

Nanmarie
Rochelle! This is beautiful, even in all of it’s sadness.
rochelle replied
thanks nancy – i glad you like it – and by the way thank you for all the other comments you have left – they are lovely
Martin Mullen
Great shot with a superb background that really makes the image.
rochelle replied
thanks Martin – as i have said i love the background – though maybe a bit busy – was not sure whether i should cut in hard and just focus on her – but sometimes the broader environment is what makes it all happen

Glenn Stephenson
Another great cap. Rochelle. Well done :)
rochelle replied
thankyou Imagematrix for your comment. – i have been surprised as to the response as i was unsure if I had left too much around her – cheers rochelle
Glenn Stephenson
Not at all Rochelle. I think that showing her ‘place’ at the time of the shot adds so much to who and what she is.
rochelle replied
thankyou Imagematrix – that type of feedback is very useful -cheers rochelle
