Photographer's Note

Photography in a market place in Sauraha when I espied this fascinating individual on one of my morning walks. She had such an expression of pathos tinged with sadness and for much of the time she just sat
motionless, in a forlorn world of her own, staring into space. Occasionally she took notice of what was going on around her, her eyes flitting around as people went about their business, but not once did I notice her utter a sound or raise her arms to engage anyone痴 attention. People walked by as if she didn't exist.

Primed the camera from a vantage point some distance away for action without interrupting her privacy
Bless her, no doubt some sad memories being thought about.....

Setting: 300 mm, 1/320 sec, F5.6, ISO Raw 200, 0839 hrs & Polarised

Hello Abmdsudi.
As always a masterful portrait of this lady, who looks with a sad and absent face, very beautiful the effect of the red of her shawl, with white hair and that dark skin color, very wrinkled by the years and surely for a hard life .
Very good lighting management and very good sharpness.
Well done. I like.
I wish you a pleasant week, from our confinement at home by the coronavirus.
Very best regards.
Luis.
