Really, really good.

The posture and the suitcase tells a great story.

May be an old lady(?) from the country side(?) returning after visiting an old friend(?) in the city for the last time(?)

Venicia,

I am a beginner.

Could you ellaborate more on the color saturation issue ? How would you correct it ?

My first "no cost" studio setup.

Used a 5w light with parchment paper.

Cool..

Kudos for flipping it..

This was taken in a small village in South India. The woman in green

burst into laughter after seeing the picture of her friend on my

digital camera.

This was taken at an orphanage in Chennai, India.

I was trying to be discrete and took the shot without

looking though the lens.

Peter,

Would you care to tell us what really happened ?

Did you ask his permission ?

Did you pay him ?

In any case, there is nothing original or aesthetic about this shot. You need to be in a developing country walking around with a camera and rude enough to make the kid beg while you focus and frame. This is sad.
