when I read shatterbug's comment, it made me laugh again.. I agree, why she chose to sleep on that little chair if there's available bigger space for her at the back.. :o) maybe she's really sooo tired! nice shot!

My home is my castle:) Great shot!

This is such a funny (in a nice way) and heart warming capture.The joys of a peaceful nap.

Superb b&w picture. You have a good eye.
Guest 26-Aug-2005 06:02
Lol at Di.
I agree with Sainath, it is a photo which makes you think!!
Guest 26-Aug-2005 05:54
I'm going on the assumption that she's homelss, and thusly, this image has great impact and provides a bit of social commentary. Somewhat sad to see and a reminder to be thankful, and not take for granted certain things in life - a roof over our heads, a warm bed to sleep in, and knowing where our next meal is coming from. Don't mean to bring anyone down :) This is just how I see the image. Well captured/documented, and as usual your treatment works very well here.

Nice shot! Why would she choose the chair, when there is an empty bench right behind her? She's gonna be hurtin' when she wakes up.

Wonderful Pepe. You have a real talent for this.
I hope you woke her up and told her she'll get back problems sleeping like that? LOL.

OMG!!!! This is your best bench yet! How do you do this?! I have NO benches where I live...you must own these benches, huh? Put them out for unsuspecting people to sit on? Maybe I'll try that....hmmmm, good idea.

Fantastic candid! Great capture, great tones, and love all the lines in the chairs and the bench!

You did a great job on this one Pepe! Perfect comp and lots of interest!
Cindy Flood26-Aug-2005 02:07
She makes me very sad...and thankful.
Jackdad25-Aug-2005 22:32
I'm amazed she's asleep - that really looks uncomfortable.
Guest 25-Aug-2005 22:30
Excellent candid,Pepe!!
Guest 25-Aug-2005 22:12

Pepe, I really like your candid street shots, and the b & w suits them so well. These will make an impressive album.
Guest 25-Aug-2005 21:38
Thats how I feel after long a day of work ;-) Nice catch!!

Wonder if she'll ever know she on the world wide web looking like this.
petesie25-Aug-2005 21:23
