Almost like an impromptu airport seminar! But yes, isn't it odd that most everyone is staring at this woman. I bet not one of them doing it consciously either. In a way, a horrifying look at ourselves and our tendency to single out oddities in a more restrained form of 'pointing'.

Great capture.

I love the illusion of this, that all those people are there just to see her. 10

too dark for the details of the facial expressions to be impactful.

Tough one. I believe I get what you were going for, but I don't know what is occurring out of view on the right.

I like this in B&W....Color would have been distracting.

Lovely shot...I'm guessing that this is arrivals at an airport, and the lady on crutches has just emerged to be confronted by this audience (why so many kids??)

Super candid and I like the way the photo is split into many people on one side and a single person on the other

Good job

Good work...I like the light tones over the woman compared to the rest of the image. 7

I can't figure out what you're trying to tell me. Is she a person of authority to these kids? Or part of whatever it is they're watching?

I think this is a great candid. The hilights and shadows really direct the eyes. However, I get an uneasy feeling about what is being shown. I doubt that everyone is watching the lady (something is probably behind her) but it certainly feels that way. It kinda makes me uncomfortable.
