Thank you everyone for your comments. I try to think, and shoot things a little deeper than what's on the surface. Poverty, to me anyway, can be understood also as a sense of wanting and needing what you can't have. I submited this image because I feel this woman demonstrates those qualities. To me, she is reaching out in her poverty for a closer relationship with God. Thanks again for all your comments.
Excellent shot. One of my top picks for the challenge. I think, however, it might have been better if you had limited the DOF to separate out the front person and downplay the headless people behind.
Hard to tell the connection with the subject of the Challenge - the woman doesn't necessarily look poor, nor do the people around her. That said, it does evoke some emotion and good composition.
Oh yeah... Even if you are poor financially you can be extremly rich spiritually. I wonder what was happening with those people there? Extremly expressive portrait. Pity it's so small. DPC should allow bigger images. 8.
this has impact as a prtrait, and a good one,but I have a problem in linking it to poverty, how why, where, unfortunately this image doesn't answer thos questions for me.
