beautiful shot.. Initially I react to her face, then her hands. She is subtley expressive. The contrasts between the colors of her shawl and the wall make her stand right out, yet gives her placement in her surroundings. I feel sorry for her. She deserves better.
The top right corner is a bit washed out, but not to the detriment of the photo as a whole.

Do we care?

Hi Sahko:

Initial: We've all seen this scene too many times, and have acted the same in as this as well. This is emotive; guilt feelings, sadness, pity, etc.

Composition: The scene composed itself. The subject.. the man sitting on the bench, is oblivious to the others and his surroundings. He seems used to being ignored. (how sad). Perfect timing to get the man to be giving that curious yet judgemental look, and to get the woman walking swifly past... almost urgently to get away from the area, and the guilt. Her eyes are cast down. She does't want to see it.

Colors & Quality: I think this would be stronger in Black & White. The brownish/sepia tone gives a classic/timeless look, where as the black and white would give it more of a dramatic/harsh feeling which goes with the mood of the photo. The focus/clarity could be a bit better, but otherwise, I would not change anything.

Very interesting to look at. Love the blue sky and clouds as background. I can't decide if this gives me a feeling of stars reaching for the sky, or falling from the sky. Lots of twists keep my eye interested.
