Composition, exposure and interest level excellent. Reminds me of the work of Margaret Bourke-White.

Good choice to do it in B & W. In my opinion it is just a tad too contrasty.

Congratulations!

Nice eye contact and composition. Captivating image.

Thanx guys,,,,,its part of my series on Indochina.

Like this also, it speaks without words.
I like the contrast myself.

Thanks Peter,,,in these situations its quite difficult to remain emotionally neutral..

It's not an easy picture to forget... with a little searching - (and a different back story) https://photography-on-the.net …?t=418338&highl​ight=child

Thanks Tony,,,I thought I'd repost this image and reintroduce it. Thinking back I was a bit harsh with the title..

Been living in Indochina for awhile,,,man this place can harded you to the poverty and human suffering..I see too much of it..

Jurgen:

Powerful image - thanks for posting.

It would be interesting to see it in colour (which I personally prefer).

Is it dignity or resignation for her lot in life?

Well composed. You have really captured a 'moment' here. nice work
