WHAT A SHOCKER!!! Thanks to all who voted for me. Originally I was going to use my little camera for the fuzzy/noisy effect, but decided against it and added my other camera's so I could use them in the challenge. I was on holiday and saw the opportunity for the perfect shot for the challenge. After giving her a few coins and a bagette I had just purchased, I was able to take several shots of her...this being what I thought to be the best. Thanks again to all!

Her walking stick next to her; her sandals much close; her hands up for alms; her story: a problem the world needs to pay much attention to.

I agree: 'Beggar Woman' is a nice photo by C. Ostom.

Congrats and look luck in your next post.

This was my cheapo camera and I was trying to see just how this would get interpreted. Thanks for all of your comments!
