Modern mother

This shots about the balance that mothers have to make these days. Balancing work with being a mother. Must be natural for a mother to ponder on if she's doing the right thing going out to work. the shots about finding reassurance from the article.

Are you assuming the reader is a mother? I can't even say for sure if the reader is a woman.

check out the article she is reading.

that said, the message you are trying to get across might be more successful if you were closer to the newspaper.

I saw the paper. I'm just not sure if there is an inferance there I'm missing.

Yes, there is a leap of imagination required but that is OK. Of course, she could have a rich hubby (or female equivelent!) and she's just off to buy shoes and is only on a bus because the Bentley is being serviced and the cab didn't arrive. The 'reality' is less important than the 'statement' often

Yes a leap of imagination. I would go for the person to be a woman but is she a mother?
Does she work? perhaps she has just been to spend her husbands money at the shops.
Perhaps she is considering to go work.

Interesting photo.

I understand the meaning, love the shot, would just have cloned out that sticker on the window above her

Ah, but that sticker perhaps has a meaning too. Is it 'No Smoking'? 'Disabled seat only'? This image meanings can go on.

lol, am I hearing some sarkasm here from you guys?

Imagination is important.. without it you can never become a outstanding photographer

The messages in photographs should be subtle, they should be read. I don't think that people often take the time to read a photograph. It's a woman, i made it dark intentionally, that's an article that a mother would find interesting, reassuring even. I'd not have shot her reading anything else

It doesn't matter if she's a mother or not, the photo is not about her, it's not simply about the newspaper it's a small story.

Over here in the US, "mums" are a type of flower

Another great "found" shot that can tell an interesting story. I like the that you've included enough empty seats around her to emphasize that she's on her way to work all alone. Nice.
