Nice focus on the woman begging for money. He expression shows sadness and a hard life. I see you used a slow shutter speed in this picture. The hand and fingers look more like a claw it distracts my attention of the person begging. It looks more like something from a horror movie. It looks like it will do harm to the person that help them out. I like the lighting on the begger and shadows.

Great shot. One of the shots that can make the viewer feel something (feel bad or lucky, for instance).

I love the face. The clothing fits the challenge very well. I'm wondering the purpose of the blur; maybe someone giving her a handout. Since there are multiple images in the blur it indicates florescent bulbs which would tend to indicate being in maybe a subway. Good shot.

I really like that you got a moving hand in this shot! It's a truly emotive shot and really well done!!! 10
