7 - I like this shot, except for one thing; this lady does not look like she wanted her photo taken, but if I am mistaken, forgive me. I like the effect in the car with the window acting as a semi/quasi frame, even more 'movement' outside would make it even more dramatic in my opinion. Technically, while no 'expert' in the rule(s), it looks like you have placed her 'head' as the 'point of interest' on the intersection, and it is the eyes mostly I 'see', but I realize, given this 'composition' and my above related comments, any other placement of the 'poi', would have likely detracted and changed this shot entirely. The b/w works well, but perhaps a little more definition in the lady's face, as appears to be in/on the 'door', may have also made this better, not sure. It is a very 'intimate' (and good) portrait/candid though, and although there is a lot of character in this shot, you (I assume) would see 'personal' aspects here that are 'lost' on me. Just 'feels' like she is being 'intruded' upon, rather than she is 'wistfully watching out the window'. Again, apologies if I am 'way off', or perhaps I am not, or you were capturing 'something else', who knows. It is a personal type shot in my opinion, sorry, difficult to explain, but I tried and yes, just 'my opinion'. Like the title.

bless her heart. I have to up the score just for the cute factor. What an adorable little old lady. She seems to be enjoying her ride!! I like the DOF. If it weren't rule of thirds, I'd say crop the left and zoom on her. She has a wonderful face. The lighting is a little diminished, but I'm glad to see something different than flowers and birds!!
