Her facial expression is priceless, whether she's observing or ignoring something it makes a great street shot.
2 Feb 2009 5:24am
Wow, great bw. Love her expression and the background.
2 Feb 2009 5:26am
wow and you didn't get caught taking such a picture?? amazing shot bc!!
2 Feb 2009 5:43am
Stunning portrait. There is so much living in that face!
2 Feb 2009 5:44am
I like the bright background. It draws attention to the main dark subject.
She's got a look.
Beautiful shot.
2 Feb 2009 5:46am
She certainly has a strained look on her face. Exceptional portrait.
2 Feb 2009 6:08am
I've had that song in my head ever since I saw this photo. Priceless Sharon
2 Feb 2009 6:10am
Brilliant title for a brilliant shot! What a face of the world!!
2 Feb 2009 6:17am
Back to back - great portrait !! Love her expression cause we can figure out so much of her and her life - bravo, Sharon ! Daring, hence, fascinating*
2 Feb 2009 6:52am
Great street shot--inspires me to take on the street challenge!
2 Feb 2009 7:03am
Great capture and caption. I am enjoying this series very much
2 Feb 2009 7:04am
Fantastic title - fits the image and expression perfectly. And now this Beatles tune will run around in my head for a while....
2 Feb 2009 7:07am
Great photo. How did you manage to get away with that without her noticing?
2 Feb 2009 7:12am
Excellente composition! J'aime bien l'expression de son visage et le personnage qui s'éloigne!
2 Feb 2009 8:06am
The wary eye betrays you. best...jerry
2 Feb 2009 8:18am
Wonderful capture. Love his facial expression, the title you chose matches it just right :)
2 Feb 2009 8:36am
Lovely street portrait with a great expression, I like.
2 Feb 2009 8:52am
Very good the expression of the woman. The black and white one is delicious.
Greeting

Lovely street portrait Sharon
Very nice capture of the movement of the passenger, I love it!

I like a lot how the title fitts to the picture, very nice!
2 Feb 2009 10:47am
The duality of the composition is very interesting. The gentleman in the background and the lady in the fore front. It leaves one to wonder if they had spoke prior or was it a chance of fate? Wonderful, Sharon! A fantastic portrait!
2 Feb 2009 11:21am
Wonderful story and expression. I am lost in the man and his umbrella. Well seen Sharon.
2 Feb 2009 11:35am
Great expression of this woman... as she were trying to apologize from beeing here... that's a personal interpretation of course Sharon... and I like the title too (as a Bowie fan ! ) :-)
2 Feb 2009 11:40am
A face full of character, BC ... interesting balance between the highlights and shadows in this image ... ron
2 Feb 2009 12:15pm
wonderful candid - her expression is priceless.
2 Feb 2009 12:18pm
Echoes of 'Across the Universe' (David bowie's 1975 version from 'Young Americans' with John Lennon on backing vocals, naturally), fill my mind. A gloriously candid street shot, Sharon. Perfection in mono, a face full of life and character. Wonderful
2 Feb 2009 12:23pm
Very good social and street picture. The expression of the woman is woth the photo. I like the composition witth her in the extreme right side, even looking to the right. This opens the frame to the unseen, out of field.
2 Feb 2009 12:27pm
Great capture! This look is priceless! 5 stars from me!
2 Feb 2009 12:59pm
Great street shot. It really makes you pause to wonder what's going through her mind. Really nice job.
2 Feb 2009 1:54pm
Wow. Great street and also great portrait! I always love your chinatown street shot!!!
2 Feb 2009 1:57pm
oh that expression is priceless! She has a lot of character in that face! very nice capture!!
2 Feb 2009 2:27pm
Very nice. I believe she is more than just a little concerned about your motives!
2 Feb 2009 3:00pm
Thats a really smart image, its as if she's thinking about the gentleman who just passed by her, a very good shot indeed.
2 Feb 2009 3:30pm
Stunning indeed...Blue...the song hit me too 'cause when my brother was in Spain for many years, he sang that song a lot :)
2 Feb 2009 3:52pm
Uncanny...it compliments Damon's image. Perplexing look on her face.
2 Feb 2009 4:04pm
This is very good..........her expression makes me feel sad for some reason.
2 Feb 2009 4:22pm
Eye and mind catching!!! Such a fantastic atmosphere being conveyed... Perfect timing and framing; wonderful tone and lighting... My favourite of the day!
2 Feb 2009 4:30pm
Incredible pain in her eyes! superb image and atmosphère fantastic!
2 Feb 2009 5:31pm
Th expression of the old woman is enigmatic... and open to any interpretation.
2 Feb 2009 6:26pm
Good composition and dificult shot because of the strong contrast, so the background maybe is a little so expoused
2 Feb 2009 6:49pm
great shot of a total lack of expression and or apathy and I love the title!!
2 Feb 2009 7:51pm
Something special in this shot is really moving…
The contrast is very interesting…
2 Feb 2009 8:28pm
Beautiful shot. Nice subjects and great exposure.
2 Feb 2009 10:36pm
You can feel the emotion in this image. Fascinating capture with the strong highlights and dark contrasts. Brilliant work!
2 Feb 2009 10:36pm
Each person going there own way. What a beautiful capture of a woman in thought.
2 Feb 2009 10:55pm
I am in admiration in front of this type of photograph, and the photographer in fact. All our attention is related to this so expressive face and if marked of a long life. A perfect testimony of your share, and a photograph which shows all the interest that you carry to the human being Bravo ;)
2 Feb 2009 11:18pm
This a very nice shot, Sharon. The woman`s facial expression is rather expressive. I would say she gave you a "look" :)
2 Feb 2009 11:33pm
Excellent portrait. A story on one face. Bravo!
3 Feb 2009 12:05am
A great moment - we start to read so much into the face, the composition...
3 Feb 2009 12:53am
Exceptional the way you've captured that look. The fleeting moment aspect is also strong here, with your subject about to walk out of the frame at any moment, and the man in the background on the verge of doing the same in the opposite direction. Great b&w work too, as usual.
3 Feb 2009 2:55am
Great candid shot, looks like you got a slight annoyed look though :) Nice picture for the challenge.
3 Feb 2009 3:03am
@Ivar: thank you...yes, I am getting used to annoyed looks though ;)
Love the counterpoint to the two figures - one approaching and the other walking away. It's a photo of choices and ambivalence - powerful!
3 Feb 2009 3:14am
Her expression appears that is exactly what she is saying.
Great contrast, wonderful street shot.
3 Feb 2009 4:09am
What a timing. I love that side glance, it adds the needed connection with the character at the background.
Brilliant shot!
3 Feb 2009 9:37pm
just adding to the noise here, but great shot. there is a real story going on between the woman and the man in the background
3 Feb 2009 10:56pm
Very good portrait! J'aime l'expression de son visage. Le noir et blanc met en valeur votre photo!
4 Feb 2009 2:46pm
great shot - two people, but a terrible sense of loneliness.
4 Feb 2009 6:55pm
great shot bluechameleon. you don't often show faces, yet you've captured so much character in this person. I'd like to see more portraits from you :)
5 Feb 2009 4:14pm
Morning Sharon,
I've a quick glance to your portfolio and I found this stunning street shot.
Powerfull eyes!!!
Impressive B&W processed with a little of noise. The grain works 100% to create that special and communicative mood
Excellent ;o)
