 Picture taken in one of the visits to Sri Lankan refugees in Tamil Nadu, South India.
I don't know how the picture will do, but I really like the expression on her face, you can read so many things from her look.
The truth is that seeing the conditions on which these people live is very hard, without the chance to return to your country that has been in a civil war for more than two decades.

I'll bet that this would also be fantastic in B/W ... love the emotion in the eyes ... good capture

Her eyes suggest an old soul. Gentle but tough. I would like to hear more background after the contest. The legs, feet, and dirt at the top suggest an outdoor market, encampment, etc.

Lighting is a bit to harsh IMHO.

Doesn't really grab me (the picture, not the story).
the lighting doesn't really add anything to her and her eyes are almost hidden.
