Levine from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
HAHAHAHA! Nice title dude. Why was she putting out her hands? Asking u to stop taking her photo or something?

@Levine: i not quite sure why she put out her hand but i think she was attracting people to come to her counter to buy bus tickets.you know,it is a 'war' among the bus ticket selling counters,but for sure she wasn't angry with me for taking her photo :D
MISS75 from PARIS, France
Elle a l'air tellement triste derrière son guichet cette pauvre dame. Elle semble demander de l'aide.

That's a great portrait, perhaps you could have cropped the hand on the right ? ;-)

Rahul from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Fantastic creation bro, though i am wondering how did you get her to pose for you ? Normally the people behind the bus counters at Pudu aren't so friendly. ;-)
11 Jun 2007 4:23pm
@Rahul: i didn't get her to purposely pose for me,otherwise this is not genuine anymore.well,i think people there have learnt to be unfriendly because of the work nature and the environment ;)
Jennifer Radio from Statesville,
I love her expression, and how she appears to be trying to escape. Amazing. :)

Look at that expression in her eyes... I think that's what makes it so vivid. Superb.

The gestures with her arm and hand makes it looking really pathetic. Great movie stuff.

oh I hate puduraya!
especially when you walk past the counters and everybody starts shouting at you to buy tickets from their counter. I only go to Super Ria. :)
