    Very nice, I agree with everything Simon Le said. This does scream "Loneliness" to me

    There's a great sadness in this photograph, but its composition is outstanding. The b/w is really the only way to present it. Well done!

    I always wonder what landed her there, or who... Who could've stopped it?!
    Some picts of the homeless feel more like a photographic exploitation than a celebration of a moment, but not this one. This is a poignant photograh of a destitute moment, taken 'n shown with immense respect for her self, maybe a mom! Beautifully done, B.
