Very, very interesting. So many interpretations!
It's that wall, of course. I really like the proportions and perspective of it. At first blush, it seemed to overwhelm, almost dwarf the newspaper reader. That bothered me at first, but now I like it. It made me wonder about the wall.
What's it there for? What's it about? Made me think of the Wailing Wall, the Berlin Wall, the wall surrounding a prison (with her on the outside, not the inside). (I don't really want answers to these questions, they're just what I was thinking about as I looked at it.
Why's she facing the wall?
Aesthetically, the only criticism (well, not so much a criticism as a comment) is that I think it might look even better in black and white. I find the wall's brown-ness a bit blah, and it takes my mind off of the structure and essence of the whole photo. But, it is what it is, and it is a wonderful photo, imho!
thanks, frank

A grab shot on the street. Could have chosen a little better moment though. The
woman is reading a big newspaper.
