Portrait, Please

I was heading up Spring Garden Road in Halifax to catch my ride home...rather important during the Transit strike that I not be late so I was a bit rushed, however, this woman saw my camera and told me that she was homeless and could I take her photo. I was a bit surprised as I don't often have people stop me on the street and ask me to take their photo. I quickly snapped off a couple of shots, the first one being my favourite. I wish I had more time to stop and chat with her since she seemed so friendly but I had my ride to catch... at least I have this shot to remember her.

Love this - great capture of her eyes - great composition - lovely story

this is a wonderful portrait Iggy - very sharp and clear. The actual worded text in a title or post always adds to the image for me and you've done a lovely job on the image and the accompanying text.

Thanks, Runmonty.

Thanks, Marko.
