Hidden Faces Photo

Photographer’s Note

The same municipality sweeper from this shot.

I sat for about forty minutes looking at the original image trying to think of a crop, finally decided include the out of focus bits of the bag she was pushing on her cart. The reason why I did that...I wanted to show her hands which were not visible in the last shot.

The woman operated silently...as if she didn't want to be noticed...cleaning up byproducts of our entertainment.

Hello Kamran,
Colourful, interesting and in a certain way mildly amusing - then again, not amusing at all. I wonder if that little mask protects her from the rubbish she may encounter in her hard work. In any case a suitable picture for TE, even though it may not be beautiful enough for some.
Regarding the cropping you did the right thing. I might even have liked to see more of her hands.
Best wishes,
Gert

Hi Kamran,
Very sharp, colorful, even amusing portrait.
Kind of unusual to us.
Well seen
Marc

Hi Kamran,
I like the scene, very representative and well exposed using appropriate narrow Dof, dunno about the crop, agree without the bag would be too tight but since you went for showing it maybe show even a bit more ?
Have a nice day JY
