Great use of light. A good candid street shot.

Bill Jennings from Los Altos (Bay Area Calif), United States

I love how the color of the dress is picked up by the fruit she is standing near, and vice versa. For myself, I believe I would crop out the couple walking the other direction on the far right of the scene: and let the flag in the background be right near the edge of the newly cropped image.

@Bill Jennings: Hi. Funnily enough Bill, I tried that, but the photo missed the balance of the dark edge and it also looked very unbalanced with the subject on the right-hand side. I didn't have much more time to fiddle so I posted it as it was.

Veronelle from Lens, France

une jolie transparence, je ne sais pas si elle s'en rend compte

@Veronelle: Merci. Elle ne m’a pas vu. Elle était entrain de réfléchir à quelque chose autre.
