Another one of your hugely under-rated photos.

Fav'd.

great portrait, excellent lighting!! that "view" to the right makes the photo deep and perfect. I like it a lot

ok heres my issue with this shot, The title states street vendor, where are the goods? it looks like a lovely old lady sat down but no selling.
The area on the right is also a distraction for me.

The colour on the skin is brilliant, real deep glowing, The shot is sharp and but a little dark overall.

Great face, very interesting, like the processing as well.
She really stands out from the background but doesn't detract from it, says alot about where and how she lives. In its simplicity tells a story about her life.

like the lighting and focus. odd title as we don't see her wares. leaving the blue trash can in the composition seems an odd choice as well

Very professional looking. The lighting is excellent. Her confident look is beautiful. She's more than a street vendor - she's got stories that I want to hear after seeing this great image.

This is truly the type of photo that I think of when I think "street photography". Nicely done. I hope you gave her a copy of this, I am sure she would love it.

Nice close-up and well composed. The rundown surroundings really make this shot.
