"The scarf covered face under that conical Asian hat presents a scene without human interference. The shapes reign here and they are presented with elegance and sensitivity. To me an alien world, one of painful beauty and eternal life."

No human interference.. That's actually one of the nicest comments I have read..

I like this but, unless I am missing something, I find the vignetting on top a bit constraining, which now that I think about it would go well with the concept.

Pray for us, that from the straw we are never separated.
Indeed, a very unusual expression :)
Very effective B&W.
