Dommage de voir de telles scènes dans les rues aujourd'hui.

She looks like she's been working hard and deserves a break.

I like the tones. I wish the composition wasn't quite so centered, although it still works ok here.

Evelyn from United States

She looks like she's selling the bottle, in an odd way--that or she's hiding behind it. I really like the story component. The tone and exposure gives a good, gritty feel to the narrative.

I really like the flavor that the b/w adds to the image. Its the kind of image that was just made for b/w.
