Photographer’s Note
On the outer rim of Marché Tabacongo, in Kampemba, this woman's "store" is everything you see around her. I like this shot because she has such a captivating look about her, and a grace to go with it. I only passed her quickly, but love how the colors of the market stand out and add so much to the photo. The beans, flour, and oil are staples of everyday life here.
*This woman was a client of our first community bank in Lubumbashi. I later found out she passed away while giving birth. God rest her soul...she was 26.

Yep, you sure did capture her nicely!
:)
IMHO, it might be even better to open up the aperature to the maximum (or near it), so you could isolate her and the close colorful merchandice.
In any case, a good pictue!!
