Finding peace in chaos (42)

At a busy market in Djenne, Mali.
Chaos, dust, sun, color... and a sleeping beauty.
This one is for PaddingtonBear ;)

Please see the workshop for another take at this scene. I like it but I think it puts the woman OUT OF CONTEXT. Tell me what YOU think - I'm learning here!

I cropped a little from the bottom so as to zooming in more on the woman. Didn't touch anything else.

I see this makes the kid bundle look heavier, too. I like it, but I also like the way it appears in your original version. What do you think?

cropping and adding a frame

So i cropped to as gringofil suggested as I did agree that whatever happens to the right in the original composition can be distracting. But now that I look at the end result I think this woman is shown OUT OF CONTEXT. If I did not know I would not guess that she is in the busy market - and that my intention to start with.
I still like it but I am not convinced this is a better version.
