Her name is marie and she's a fish vendor. Struggling to make a living out of it. She complains about the difficulty of the business and how the harsh economic climate make's it next to impossible. But she's still optimistic.

ok heres my issue with this shot, The title states street vendor, where are the goods? it looks like a lovely old lady sat down but no selling.
The area on the right is also a distraction for me.
The colour on the skin is brilliant, real deep glowing, The shot is sharp and but a little dark overall.
Great face, very interesting, like the processing as well.
She really stands out from the background but doesn't detract from it, says alot about where and how she lives. In its simplicity tells a story about her life.
Very professional looking. The lighting is excellent. Her confident look is beautiful. She's more than a street vendor - she's got stories that I want to hear after seeing this great image.
This is truly the type of photo that I think of when I think "street photography". Nicely done. I hope you gave her a copy of this, I am sure she would love it.
