The Stone Cutter's Mother (30)

There many steps leading up to Swayambunath (The Monkey temple), the largest and most ancient Buddhist temple in Nepal. All the way up , craftsmen and artisans work beside the steps and sell their products to the passing pilgrims and tourists. I stopped to take some pictures of a stonecutter working. Then my eye, and my lens, turned to his mother, lying in front of a ramshackle hut behind. Her face bore witness to a hard life full of poverty. She is typical of so many in Nepal, which is the 6th poorest nation in the world.Where so many have to struggle to live from day to day.

Hi,
since i wanted to remove greenery from left, so i did here....Also increased the contrast little bit, because i wanted to give lines of her face more depth.(Becasue they attracted me alot)
I hope you like it.
Thanks
