[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This was a beggar on the streets of Cuzco who hid her can and put her hat on for the photo after I had given her 1 Sole, about $0.30.

For this repost, I used Magda Indigo's workshop she did for me to help improve my photo. I cropped out the door in the upper right corner, rotated the photo slightly, increased the contrast, sharpened, and framed.

I thought about converting to B&W but when I did, it seemed to lack something. The colors are fairly muted as it is, but I think it is better in color.

Beautiful composition, contrasts con the sad reality of this person who asks for in the streets, the poverty and the sadness is printed in its eyes. Congratulations for the work.
Greetings, Isa

Hi David,

Beautifully captured, I like the expression on her face. My humble opinion, it would be much wonderful if you have cropped it more, or have taken in closer. It is a good portrait. Cheers always.

Thanks/Salamat,
Jeffrey
