Hi Melinda. Powerful shot of the daily struggles. The composition with its tilt and decisive end on the right adds to the poignancy of the image.Great B&W treatment and excellent details. Regards. Klaudio.

Hi, Melinda.
A little too tight on the right, IMO, but I like this spontanous shot a lot.
Great POV.
Best regards. Grazyna.

Very well done, with a good uncentered closeup of the woman.

Hi Melinda,

Strong picture with interesting subject and beautiful B&W. I like your framing and the tilt, but I would prefer to have the old lady's a little way from the border, its what is missig for the picture to be perfect.

Regards,

Flavia

Fine portrait of an old woman. The theme I really like.
B&W works here very well.

Lin,

Well said poetic note.
Sometimes, shots have to be done like these..
Important is the communication of the concept ,and in my opinion, it's done here..
The title goes along the concept and the image.. Fine execution .

As Christian says, great improvement in your frame styles now.

Congrats.

Valóban, úgy tűnik az arckifejezéséből, hogy nincs túl könnyű dolga...
Nagyon jól elkaptad a pillanatot, és tetszik, hogy a néni majdhogynem kisétál a képből. A kissé ferde kompozíció is nagyon jó hatást kelt!
Üdv: Filip

Szia Linda!
Remekül adod vissza a segesvári óváros hangulatát a régi házzal, a boltíves átjáróval a lámpással és a macskaköves utcával. Szegény néni, ő pedig éli a nehéz mindennapokat. Kiválóan jelenik meg a hangulat és a valóság egy képen. Gratulálok!
Üdv,
Marci

I understand your pain Melinda, of not having that split of a second available for your shot...
Oh, well...It happens to me constantly...
Actually - it happens more than NOT happens :-)))

Love this kind of shots...
Immaculate technique. Everything OK, except that fatal framing...

Run, not walk

Hi Melinda,
I wish you had a bit more space on the rigth, but otherwise I like this a lot, the tilt makes for dynamism, the ancient lady with the typical background for a superb if poignant mood. Very nice indeed!

Kind regards
