I really like this shot, the expression is great - wouldn't want to ask for a portion of steamed beaned sprouts though, she looks like she has had enough! - Steve
When first viewed, I really didn't think much about the constrast - I guess it could use some. On the other hand, the soft B&W adds to the shot IMO. What it adds, I cannot put my finger on it. Maybe it just has a newspaper feel about it - a photo that could be published well I think. Possibly looks like a frame out of a movie? Excellent. jano
