Er zit een mooie diagonaal in het beeld
De stoep de vrouw de fiets.
De lichaamstaal is duidelijk ze wil contact dan wel geld of goederen.
Hoe je het ook went of keert wijn zijn toch de mensen van de happy view

O my god, Anneke,
I'd like to give her what I have with me - such a poor old lady, I'm so sad to see people like that. I saw an old woman in Bombay sitting in a dirty street with exactly the same pose and I often remember this moment - my soul is crying - sometimes we don't know how good our life is!
Thanks for the shot, very impressive and touching my heart.
Bye and greetings
Sabine - wishnugaruda

Wow Anneke, nice mood captured here. It indeed says more than a 1000 words. With the sharp detail you captured of his/her face, one can see the hardship and a life telling story. Good one!

Hi Anneke,
Wow, what a strong image with a really strong message! Really sad and hopeless expression on the face, it certainly does paint a thousand words and more! Well done and TFS
Cheers Tina :-)

I saw similar in Beijing last week, and plenty one in Indonesia.
You did great capturing the expression of sadness, waiting, needing, expecting of help, loneliness . . .
Great shot Anneke. Lots of stories from this simple picture.

Tfs,

Hello Anneke

Move to see this picture, a beautiful picture but of such a suffered theme. The expression of this lady's face is too painful. An appeal, a help! A pain scream. excellent reality photo...
Congratulations

Very touching photo.....
Je m'exprime en francais car je ne suis pas capable de le dire en anglais.....
Cette scène,cette femme....symbolise très précisément l'état de notre planête, de notre monde...de ce que nous en avons fait.....Une belle vieille mal traitée..par l'oubli et la pauvreté..comme les 3/4 de ceux qui vivent sur cette planête....
Assez inquiètant et troublant.....
Ouffff..une photo qui nous montre la réalité que l'on n'aime pas voir.....

Un bijou de photographie...avec toute la richesse d'une photo digne du National Geographic....
I hope it is clear for you.....if not....It's simply a MASTER PICTURE..
Bravo

Hi Anneke
I have a look at the most off your photos, it sems that you like to make photos off people, and that is great, because it is not the easy way. I like this photo very much, its is exelent, a great job, and if I was able to expres my self better in English, I could have sayd much more, never the les my compliments. TFS.

Anneke, als ik dit zie vraag ik me af of zij nog van de generatie is die ingebonden voetjes als schoonheidsideaal had.
Heel aandoenlijk maar ook mooi.

Hi Anneke, A very clear and sharp photograph showing something seen in too many places. There were people doing this in Denver, Colorado a few years ago, and the police had put notices in the paper abouthow these guys were bringing in hundreds of dollars a day. I think this situation you show is genuine however. TFS. Murray.

Sorry. This is embarrassing. Just my opinion about a controversial type of picture. I´m against using or publishing images of people´s suffering without taking some ethical aspects before or without the existance of some real documental interest about showing it. Again, just my free opinion about this kind of photographs. I respect your point of view and your freedom to post this photo. I like your work, it very intresting, but not this one to me.
