This image is so powerful and moving. There's a certain melancholy or misplaced purpose in the lady's eyes. You have something big going with your street scenes, redwriter. thanks for sharing

Excellent capture and post-production work! And the empty chairs work well to enhance the feeling of solitude.

Striking use of color and black and white photography. Great mood-creating. Did she know that you were taking the picture? My guess? :) No, she didn't.

So sad.Tugs at your heartstrings.So many of our older Seniors LONG for attention,affection,acknowledgement.Even a simple touch of their hand in a handshake.The red to me says "Look at me!I'm sitting right here!Just give me a Little of your time."

Wonderful slice-of-life storyteller. ..a bit melancholy, or maybe she's peaceful waiting there with everyone else hurrying on with life. Love it!
