A splendid capture of what can clearly be seen as a character piece, this image doesn't suffer any technical issues that are immediately noticable. From an artistic standpoint, the author might have wanted to use a little closer focus to enhance the natural friendly features of the subject and the right detail of her clothes and basket. Just on the edge of being a complete technical and artistic success. A solid entry into the challenge. Well done.
