Fancy jacket. The messy necktie ruins an otherwise perfect image of an aspiring business woman. The lunch bag is a nice detail. However, a cup of hot brew from Starbucks could be added to improve the impression of a short break between meetings.

great subject and photo...looks like my subject's long lost sister .

the space in the foreground top and sides don;t seem to add anything to this picture and a closer crop would highlight the great details that you captured here.

Odd angle. It doesn't really sit well with me. Sorry.
Other than that it's an interesting shot.

Jim O'Connell says:

Robert Capa famously said "If your shots suck, you're not close enough." This photo shows that telephoto lenses cannot overcome that limitation.

300mm telephoto shots of homeless crazies are not "realism" they're predatory. Fill frame with the same subject with a 28mm lens and you will have something worth considering.

What Jim O' Connell said, with a touch of Udo's sarcasm. Looking down on her from a distance isn't the best idea.

not really liking the squar format of the shot. more bg might have set the scene a bit better.

Venerable Kalense says:

What Jim O'Connell said, and the blurry bar in the foreground is inexcusable. Perhaps a crop would have worked, bu this is an insult.

bikeracer says:

what jim o'connell, tsjeu, and KK said. the way she's looking at you is as if she's saying "look at you, taking my picture from way over there. why don't you come over here and try that." i'd have been afraid too.

I like it, an honest photo and I think the low level perspective is great and the space in front shows the distance that we usually keep, it kind of hurts to make eye contact, its movin
