I hate this thing too...

But then how would you know about the special evening shopping event at the Red Gallery?! ...but yeah, this irritates me too

That does look pretty crowded. I'd go nuts

Yep - those crowds would do my head in too

beautiful expression thoughtful. beautiful portrait, bravo

Nice shot, just, shame the focus is made on the hairs ... It would have been much better if the focus zone was make on the eye. (Usually, when yo you take a picture of a person or an animal, even if you open your lense a max, try to keep the focus on the eyes)

however, according to me, the great thing about this picture is its focus on the glasses, and the light faded old lady

just my opinion

It also shows her curly hair - good shot
