A great entry into the Urbanism Photography Contest and Congrats on your 2nd Place win. I like the expression and mannerism you were able to capture in your shot along with the raw emotions. Very well photographed in good lighting, sharp focus, and outstanding details and clarity in your image. Your play with light and shadows captures her individual personality adding to the storytelling. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing!

It is interesting to get glimpses of how other cultures live. This woman probably spends a great deal of her time selling her wares. I like how your angle shows the many selling stations set up in the background.

Nice and clear. Love the colours of the clothing. Real life of shopping is shown here very well. This person looks tired. Great sense of this urban life

Must ask where were you when you shot this?

It looks good and I like that you caught her expression as she looked to the camera

Very nice work!

    Thank you very much. Shot this picture in Mexico in April.

Hey at least she is selling something and trying to earn her money instead of begging like the panhandlers we have here in Florida. The clarity is good. The angle of the shot of this old girl sell that looks like apples is great. The capture of the light is great. The image is balanced and eye interesting to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall

A colourful street photo of buyers and sellers. Great shot of the older lady in green; although a sadness and almost a feel of despair seems to be there on her face. You do not say where this is photographed. I would be interested to know. Very clear image and good composition. Thanks for sharing!

travels, the stall holder on the left of the photo looks Asian, or Mexican or somesuch, but the elderly lady sitting there does not, she is very clean, all together, glasses, sun hat, like at some country fair, art fair or such. The tourists are all smart, clean and white. Mystery. Super photo

    thank you, I was curious, it just wasn't Asian enough for me to place it.

Great story telling factor.
Candid capture...
Sharply focused with fantabulous color saturation!
Dramatic illumination.
Vanishing viewpoint lends a greater depth...

Best of luck in the contest!

Thanks for sharing...
