Very strong and powerful composition,
I cannot neglect the feeling of sadness by looking at this photo.
Looks like this noble woman is on the old radnevouez place, waiting for somebody that is long gone, and she is patiently waiting for the same train...
Exceptionally done!

I really love this shot!!
I like the way you've caught the women, standing alone against the aging stone facade. Not many women dress in full black with scarf these days, but this used to be standard attire for the Portuguese women after a loved one died and for some of them it mean that never again they would wear any other color... It's almost like revisiting the passed!
She seems to have caught you taking the photo and it's almost like she's afraid. Great moment, great photo.

(she looks like an aunt of mine actually...)
