Since you scored low in this challenge, I figured I would comment on this image instead. The secret to candids is to have your audience be "engaged" in the situation. Eyes are always a tell tale sign. This image in particular just doesn't hold a voter's attention span for too long. Again, engage your audience. The duotones are great but since your subject is looking to the right, the voters natural tendency is to follow the eyes. In this case, my eyes travel beyond the image. I hope this makes sense. Please PM me if it doesn't and you have questions. Thanks.

not much here to connect me to the subject or pull me into a story. like the processing, but the composition could use work.

I'm not much for receiving or giving comments, but since Candids are
near and dear to my heart, I have decided to give comment on every entry
in this challenge.

This is ok. I like the tones, but it holds little interest for me otherwise. Hats and glasses are a nightmare for the candid photographer and mask any emotion that could normally be seen without them. Here I just see a woman looking to the right or her left. I really don't see anything that makes gives me much interest. It's a 3 for me.
