Great shot! I love how both her feet and her face show her personality, and her story, but the feet are the thing in focus. Kind of reminds you how when you see someone like this who obviously has a story to tell, you can only even get a glimpse into their world. Very strong composition here!

I'd really love to get talking with this one!!
They look like they could tell you so much taht you don't know!
I really like how their face is blurred. You really get a sense of the fact they are treated like a no-body.
Thanks for sharing.

I like this angle much better than the other shots of the same subject. It sort of gives you a "body in morgue" effect.
