Exiled

While taking photos at the waterfront had been watching this group with 2 children on the beach in front of where I was shooting, after about 15min. the group split and the others moved about 100ft away from this girl and set up on the sand again, I found this strange keeping an eye on her as I was viewing for a photo. Shortly after the girl put on the heavy coat even though it was a beautiful sunny day, at this point I turned the camera around onto her and shot some photo’s while the rest of the group kept looking over at her as she appeared to be crying, I had stopped shooting by now and was intrigued by what was going on, I saw one of the group use a mobile phone, and about 10 minutes later a man and a woman arrived and helped the girl off the beach to a car being very unsteady on her feet, the remainder of the group walked past me and I asked was the girl alright, one replied that she was taken to the hospital as she appeared to be drugged, when all was quiet I thought even though the subject was not facing the camera that maybe it would fit this challenge.

This image would have been better without the rocks in the foreground as they distract from the main subject.
