A person, a time, a place, windows to the soul visible behind the sunglasses, a peek into humanity.

I wonder what she would think today if she knew that she was not just a face in a crowd, unknown and unsung, but that you had taken her photo and given her a momentary place in the sun? I hope she would feel her own dignity. You certainly find that in this photo.

It would indeed be a contrast from, "Hurry up traffic. I need to run to Starbucks, and then onto work. It's not even Friday yet..."

Glad to see you're still doing the street photography angle. The first photo does a very nice job of capturing her intensity. And the second one is just plain funny.

Good conversions, too.

Great timing and excellent composition and PP. Necessary ingredients for a job well done.
Simple, effective, expressive,

THANKS for sharing these.

Thank you both. It's tricky trying to find the perfect post process to get just the look I want!

Still haven't settled on one yet.
