I would have cropped out the dark element on the bottom of the page. But otherwise, a good and dramatic photo.

Beautifully composed. It has a nice weight or heft, the subject and her parcels centered, and her feet on the ground as she gazes into that vague space waiting for the right word to come. Very fine black and white.

At least I didn't get any ones!!
Waiting for better weather would have been smart.
But I really missed on the processing. Live and learn.
Thanks for the comments.

I like this Penny.

Ok, the doctor in me forces my eyes to look at why she has more swelling in one ankle than another (usually not good) but, if I force myself out of the professional role, I really like the character of this shot.

Well captioned also ...

Shadows and textures and contrast, oh my... I wonder who or what she's waiting for...

I'm not much into poetry (that could change) but for some good street poetry check out Frank O'Hara's Lunch Poems -- poems written during his lunch hour in and around the streets of Manhattan.

The image is excellent. Quite a character study! The void to the right really forces the eye back to your subject. Nice framing too. The big square crop really works.

Way cool light! Three people here - the real one, the one shadowed on the real one, and the mysterious other person shadowed on the wall.
