She only had enough to buy one bowl of hot noodles. Xiao-niao's tummy rumbled with hunger as she gazed at all the food. This small bowl would be lunch and dinner for her and her sister. Bàba only had enough to feed them the one meal a day.
Mei had noticed the young girl had been coming to her booth quite a bit lately. Money had grown tight with many families of late. She heard the growl of hunger come from this bird of a girl. Mei was not that much better off but she let out a sigh as she spooned an extra scoop of noodles into the bowl. She knew she might come to regret it later if word of her kindness got out. Others would come, expecting the same. But at least for today, Xiao and her sister would have a bit more to eat.

Wow. Wonderful catch. I'm thinking this might not score as high as some others, but it touches me the most and deserves a high placing.

This is my 2nd favorite 'candid' in the group. The car in the background takes it away for me (though I do like the boot). I prefer the processing/toning on this one compared to the other candid. The expression and details are enormous. Gave you an 8 (with that car out of the frame likely a 9 or 10). Still splendid.

This is a new comment series for me, so please bear with me while I find my style!

(Voted earlier)

This is one of my 9s - I like it a lot. Furthermore I think it enriches the DPC collective portfolio. Put simply, I wish we saw more stuff like this. Let me tell you why it pushes all the right buttons for me:

1. This just feels so authentic - like I've turned a corner and there's the scene. I know it IS authentic, but what I mean is - the photograph just emerges from the scene, your framing and other photographic choices have become secondary to the moment and the scene. This is difficult to do - to be purposeful without being contrived or exploitative.

2. The girl on the left, so close to the window - face to face with her reflection - a great way to anchor the image.

3. The corner of the booth dividing the image - splitting the image in resonance with the inside/outside divide of the characters.

4. The busy nature of the right hand side with the food preparation, the two figures and the ladles and bowls offers a great contrast to the quiet intensity of the girl on the left.

Overall, an image with enough authenticity to be regarded as worldly. Great shot.
