somewhat of an awkward composition still an exceptional photograph. her dominance still allows a viewer to explore the environment and how it relates.

I get the feeling there's an interesting story behind this one. B&W works well; I also wonder what's going on in that field behind her.

][\ <-- My cat just walked over the keyboard, and that is what she typed.

I liked the photo better than her though... I like the textures, and your background is really good.

Nice high contrast capture, a little bit too centered to my taste.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

nice image, I even like how the subject is central.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

very fine documentary image. The post processing gives this a feel of a newsprint illustration, which I'm really liking, it suits the subject well.

Why we don't want socialism in the United States - her government is taking care of her - she has a home, a job and probably has had all her life.

I could not live this life...you have captured the emotion...

I think I would like this better if it wasn't so centered
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Has a very old-time feel to it, which works with this image, in my opinion

I like this in b/w
