Great use of dof. The b/w and the candid feel puts the viewer in the photo and really gets the "no progress" message across. It's not slick, but it's just a nice "moment" type people shot.

What does it mean??? If theres a young face shown it would be much better.

What I like about the photo:
I really love shot of old folks.. feels that there's a story to be told...

What could be improved:
however, this feels more like a snapshot... I'm sorry.. didn't work for me..
You might want to work on the title... cause.. I don't think it's no progress for her.. She's gone through a lot in life i suppose..

Would also love to see a tighter crop on the photo to show more of her expression... The focus seemed to be on the back of the women in the center...

Score
Sorry buddy.. Would have been a great shot.. a 3 for me..

Well, yes there is...in the hair-styles for one - sitting to standing - and age of subjects. M-kay?

I just saw this somewhere in a portfolio... Does indeed depict at least waiting, if not lack of progress.

Very nice arm gesture. It is echoed in the structure in the backround, too.
