In the bus station Photo

Photographer’s Note

I was in the bus station waitting for the bust to Chefchahuen, I waitte for more than two hours, so I decide it took some pictures (but the people find offensive this), so I try to be very discrete. Latter I will upload more pictures of this kind.
I crop it a little, with the pourpose, to don't disturb the picture , latter I unsatured, add color to makes this sepia. Finally, I add the frame and my name.
I like this woman the posture and the face towards this side, too I like the contrast between the dark dress and the hood in her face. Anohter thing than I like in this picture, is the girl in the back with the same posture than the other lady, finally I like the letters in the crystal, I don't know what this means but in this place was too a coffe shop.

Thank you

Hmm, me gusta la simplicidad de esta foto. La falta de alto merito tecnico y la sencillez del sujeto. Me gusta esta foto porque tiene buenos tonos, aunque pienso que el panuelo sobre la cabeza de la mujer esta algo sobreexpuesto. Pienso que haber tomado esta foto fue buena idea pues se siente la espontaneidad de la situacion. Muy buen trabajo Elias. El uso de sepia trabaja bien en esta composicion pues le da un carater mas antiguo a la foto. Tambien pienso que muchas vecez la gente se deja llevar por querer tomar fotos que son demasiado tecnicas y se olvidad que muchas veces la sencillez de un retrato es lo que le da mejor semblante y caracter :-)

Great oldies atmosphere too... I wish we could see the woman's face more, but it's already ok like that. Good black framing.

Thats a real representation of Moroco, and surely a good idea in sepia giving the message of unchanging life there.
I like it

( still have a suggeestion for you and here in cropping, the subject has a small space in front and should need a bit more in proportion with the place where she sits (this one is needed to locate the subject and her atitude as to show a Morocan construction).

Está muito interessante a tua foto considerando que nem sempre é fácil fotografar pessoas, em particular em países com culturas diferentes da nossa. Mas o importante é que conseguiste uma bonita imagem. Pessoalmente, teria cortado um pouco mais à direita para poder mais dar mais espaço à frente da senhora.
