Intersting shot. I like the subject, colors and POV. Well done! #993537

As soon as I saw this I found myself singing the first few bars of Willie Nelson's song "She's a railroad lady, a little bit shady..."
I don't know if you are familiar with this song but it describes a lady who spent her days on the trains all over the country, plying her trade(OK, she was a hooker) but when the railroads shut down and the tracks abandoned she had to pawn her fur coat and diamond ring to afford the fare back to Kentucky.
This is a wonderful image that suggests a story perhaps similar to that song. Her drooping head, the crumpled dress, blackened feet all fit that perfectly. This could be dvd or a book cover.
It's going into my favorites Kristina and please realise that I am seeing it as a piece of art work not a portrait of a friend or family member.

Funny that it brought a song to Peter's mind, because when I saw it I started humming "Home" by Marc Broussard (awesome song). Love the shot and it obviously evokes emotion. The lighting and pov is wonderful. I love it, Kristina! #6420448

well, I didnt think of a song, but I did think that I really like the editing work, great colors, and tones....Love her carefree pose, love the bare feet being so dirty....
Very nice #6420959
