Funny :) Nice use of elements here. And her expression is very interesting (better than in the other version). I see why you included the man passing by to create a contrast, but still I prefer this version. Is this also shot from the hip?

Yes, both the pictures were shot from the hip. The man in the other photograph is a friend, and there's a camera near his hip as well :-)

Thanks for stopping by to say hello. Glad you did because it led me to this photo. This is my kind of image. Totally candid where you caught her "reaction to you" expression. I like the shot but would recommend you think about cropping the image to remove the doorway on the left. -Regards, Howard

All critiques are welcome.

About cropping Howard is right. Now you have an interesting face. After cropping you have a strong composition extra. Regards Debas!

Hmm... I'll try it out. Thank you!

About Hmm , you are right!
