Comment by GrayGhost:
Has an interesting feel, but lighting seems to obscure too much of her, while the books are well illuminated and sharp, drawing the eye away from her.

As a person that knows this location very well having lived in Stockholm for 6 years I simply have to say that I don´t think the yellow tone does this scene any justice, sorry... Just wanted to explain why I only gave it a 4, I figured I owed you that.

Unusual color tones, but they works well in this cityscape...

Very chic. I love the dark contrast and the sexy line of the leg. Excellent.

Comment by grus:
My home town :D. This is a very nice duotone (?) in fact; the entire tonal range is used quite effectively. I would definately have at least tried to clone out that white "thing" in the foreground, whatever it is, as it distracts a LOT from the rest of the image.

Thank you for all the comments and votes.
It is good to see this photo so high rated. On the other hand it is not good at all to see people like this old woman.
I know that it is almost impossible to help all the lonely and homeless humans. But at least I will never ignore them when passing nearby.
As photography has the power to make us more sensitive, I hope to use this power effectively in my life.
