Hi Alec,

Excellent image capture and congrats on being selected. Well deserved! So what does she collect?

Congrats again Alec, an excellent portrait of this woman who I imagine has seen much of what this world has had to offer. And still she seems still busy at what she has enjoyed most.  kind regards,Gail

TQ Pierre, Gail. Terry, looking at her matching gear it is hard to believe that this woman goes from bin to bin to collect anything worthwhile from rubbish to sell. A hard life but very common in countries that do not have any welfare care system for the elderly. They have to fend for themselves. But this wiry old lady even though poor is proud to be able to take care of herself.

Lovely portrait! Outstanding as usual!

 

Best regards Sadegh
