Hi Caleb, great shot, you caught her at a perfect moment, mouth full of noodles and humour in her expression. Inclusion of the BG elements is good too, nicely scruffed wall other items convey well a sense of the place. Up to your usual high standard. cheers, Steve

Yummy, can't wait to go back...

Excellent shot, yet another. There's really no end to it, it seems...

All the best.

Hi Caleb!
This one has lots of humor in it, as so many of yours do! And I agree, the noodles in here mouth, and her almost "guilty pleasure" grin really is quite endearing! The lady in the corner of course is perfect as she carries on eating her noodles in perfect form, ignoring the photo altogether! Good fun, and wonderfully captured with perfect focus in a complicated setting. Regards,
Steve

Nice shot. Three attentive people, one who couldn't care less. I like those walls and the poster (or whatever), the plastic table-cloth. A well lit scene.
Regards,
Gert

I am always an admirer of your work Caleb, you are a consistently stalwart photographer of people in their context here in TE - so for an image to stand out and hit me in the way this one does is a hard thing to assess - but apart from the clarity of it in not the most easiest lighting conditions to the capture of the moment this one strikes me as an image of the highest quality - out of an image with so much to recommend it the least obvious but telling 'selling point' of the image is the intensity of the person in the background consuming her food - compositionally a wonderful image!

Dynamic and well composed scene. As usual in your photos, one can get a feel for the real life in these places.

cheers,
