First Impressions
Interesting - I like the focus on her. Her pink jacket brings her into play more. I like the centered composition and framing too.

Photograph Information, Technicals & Composition Review
1.8 explains your nice shallow focus. Not bad sharpness for 1/50. As mentioned, I like your choice of composition and think it suits this well.

It seems a candid, but the expression is not so interesting to me. She is aware, but seemingly only just - this translates to a slightly intrusive feel, for me as a viewer. This could be your intent within the image.

Comments, Score & Placement Review
Top 10 is definitely a good place to finish. A lot of praise in your comments and a few fans thrown in too. 6.06 and top ten - very cruisey.

Summary
An interesting image that might not have worked in b&w, nice close up style of Street Photography that met the Challenge.

Yeah this should have scored higher, it was in my top 3. Nice shot nonetheless.

Good use of DOF to show there really is a person inside all that clamor.

To me, this is the essence of street photography. Somehow you managed to capture it in color. Bravo. 9

Excellent shot.
Original aswell.

Yes i've always wanted to take a picture like this! You've found a good subject. The sharp focus with narrow DoF and light really make this one, gl 8 from me
