Nice. I wish the girl were a little lighter, so she stood out more.

Super sad- great black white and red color scheme. And, fwiw, she still has some shape left in her- no one looks like the mannequins.

Comment by Paul:
I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: This is a delightful and slightly poignant image. I like how the colour and light bleeds away at the edges of the frame like a metaphor of her life. I really like the resigned manner in which her bag is placed; like it's taking a rest - again, this reflects the overall mood of someone caught up in a reflective moment.

Critical stuff: Some will find the vignette a little strong.

Overall: Beautifully observed and processed in alignment with the sentiment of the image.

Wish I was there! One of my favorite activities that I seldom do. Corner composition works well for this subject.

I like the invisible diagonal connecting the two people in the water.
