Nice shot but while this may have been taken with a long exposure, it need not have been, so it falls down in the meeting the challenge test.

I like the simplicity. Great use of light and you did a good job of angling it so it's not boring or ordinary.

Great idea, maybe a little bright behind the glasses. Good luck

Nice use for the technique. The delicate tablecloth/curtain contrasts well with the background. It allows me to create a story for the scene. My interpretation is that even here, in a neighborhood that isn't filled with million dollar homes, one can find the feeling of family, pride, gentleness. The fact that she is washing the curtain implies that this isn't just a temporary location for her. She seems to have a determined look on her face that gives even more substance to the story.
I think I would crop out the left side to get rid of the person standing back there and the brownish trailer. It's a good picture to look at and think about.

Good eye!
I like artistic/abstract shots like this that so often surround our daily lives.
Well done!
