Composition - First off, this is definitely a challenge worthy picture. My initial impression of this picture is that there is too much stuff in this picture. It makes the shot seem too cluttered. Taking the shot at an angle might conserve a little room on either side of the signs where we could still see some of what is on the signs. I really don't like the "head on" angle though. The woman in the hut is a little dark too. If she is the main subject in this picture I think she should stand out a little more and not be hiding in the shadows. The shadow on the right sign is also a little distracting.
Background - I love the guy on the horse statue in the background. It really gives the sense of where this woman is more than anything else in the picture. The buildings in the back look great and the sky has very good color.
Camera work - Not much to note in this section. The biggest thing is overcoming the woman's dark face. I was thinking that maybe a little fill flash might help that out and wash away a little of the shadow on the right sign. You did a really good job with the general exposure, DOF, and focus.
Post-processing - I don't see anything that would indicate a problem with the processing. The colors are probably a little saturated, but that goes a long way when a picture is properly taken.
Overall - This woman has unmatched perseverence judging from this pic. I don't know of anything I feel THIS strongly about with the exception of my family. I think changing the angle of the shot would be the most beneficial advice I could give. It lacks some of the real emotive mood that a different angle might be able to bring. Getting the subject to more available light or breakin' out the flash would've helped some too. Hope this helps a little - Bob (Inspzil)

| This is a great shot. more dramatic if you get a little lower and lose the sky a little more. |

Good capture here. My only suggestion on this one would be to crop out a little bit of the ground in the foreground.

| The loose nut fringe. All good tax paying, productive citizens. A 6 for the photograph - zero for the sentiment from a WWll veteran. 6 JEM |

| good photo... wish she wasn't looking at you though... also sometimes in photojournalism less is more, I would have zoomed in to just get one of the big signs on the left or the right... or maybe just her with the peace now, and stop the attack on Iraq sign. Great try! I'm giving this an 8. |
