Very impressive image.

She has a very colorful dress, wristbands, and hair band and such a beautiful face.

I think it could have been improved with a larger aperture, to blur some of the background. IMHO, the background is very busy and detracts from the lady in the foreground gazing at the window, and whats inside.

TFS!

Thanks, good ideas. It was a very quick snap.

I keep trying to figure out how there appears to be a reflection of three of her fingers in the window, but as I go up and down in the window nothing else matches other than the blue texture. I'm wondering if she was looking at herself?

I think the greater DOF puts her in context. My eyes start with her as she dominates the image, then I see the people in the street and glance down the street where there seems to be some commotion, then back to her where I notice the reflected fingers.

This could be a nice wall hanger in a waiting room. Lots to discover and wonder about. Where was this shot?

Looking again, I just noticed the yellow spikes on the step. I see a contrast between the pretty girl in a bright dress and a harsh environment. There is a narrative here.

I once saw a B&W news photo on display in Germany. I believe the photo was from South Africa. A teenage white girl is buying a bottle of pop from a vending machine while a black boy looks on. Looked like a poor area, but I don't recall specifics about the environment and why the area looked poor. The photo didn't seem to have much narrative or art about it. I didn't get the point of the photo until I noticed the strap on her shoulder didn't go to a purse -it went to a machine gun.
