well thx of saying that (and for the link) and you know – I noticed you wrote sad in the other comment – and well, you can feel her hated days – but the way the food/fruit is set up in front of her is also a bit color coordinated – and then her royal blue dress with that beautiful skin tone – but there is even more to the composition – like the vertical green onions seem to interplay with an inverse of the dripping paint to the far right = the two colors of paint and how she is smack in the middle – with that posture -I have to say this is one of my fav street shots- and maybe it falls into the one that really does say 1,000 words…. oh i dunno

Great composition. I can’t tell if she’s stern or sad….

You are lovely to say so Desleyjane! I felt that it was both with ‘stern’ acting as a facade for the ‘sad’ underneath.

I also feel conflicted – and I love this shot – culture rich and artsy –

I am hoping that it was just a passing moment and that wherever she is, she is happy now Jo.
