This sweet lady and your branch seller remind me of my dear baka who also wore scarves and many layers and never in her 98 years wore a pair of pants How old do you think these ladies are? They seem to have lived through some hard times with dignity.
Your blog has been a great inspiration to me. If you have time, I've finally gotten my blog off the ground at http://Sudburydailyphoto.blogspot.com.
What a wonderful picture. Her face is priceless. I feel the same way sometimes and offer people a few dollars just for the picture either of them or their wares.
This is the best street portrait I have seen. Go back and buy more. I"ll send money! Bibi, save this one. It's just a fabulous capture and is sooo representative of your city I think.

Bibi, this is a wonderful photo of a woman with character and a map of her life written on her face and bearing. Both her face and hands are careworn but graceful. Lovely!

What a face. It makes you want to know her story.

your photos are astounding! What camera are you using and what lens for this perfect shot? stunning.
One of the most beautiful portraits I've seen. Pat, you've outdone yourself and everyone else!
Her soul is in her eyes.
Darling Bibi! It's been a pleasure watching the evolution of your shots. Your photography have gone PRO! Your talent has blossomed and grown into something extraordinary!
Wonderful face and wonderful shot.
What does one do with thistles? Keep them in the living room as ornaments or feed them to a donkey?
what an incredible face she has, so much wisdom shines from it, and she is probably so used to the street and the cold, wow! aren't we so lucky to be cosy and warm in winter?
Dare I say I told you so. It's another wonderful natural portrait. The colours are naturally rich as are her features and gestures. Bless you for kindness. It's so refreshing for me to view your images. You give a jaded professional hope that ll is not lost to computer.
wonderful picture! I agree with you about the face - I just love faces.
I agree with Marie Reed.
She is beautiful! I'd be willing to guess she's several years younger than I am. Our lives have taken considerably different paths. I just love your pictures!
Her face tells the story. Great capture.
Beautiful portrait of the woman. I think it would work wonderfully in B+W also.
She smiles with her eyes too..
You shot a beautiful portrait.
I'm with Petrea, Bibi. And I have a feeling you would have bought all of her wares even if you didn't have a camera with you. Either way, that was a lovely gesture. This woman does indeed have a truly beautiful face—which you have captured. Well done!
What a face! What a great portrait!
I agree with the others here, outstanding portrait!
I wonder if this also the same woman in my picture?

Nicely done, Bibi on all levels.
Now where were you yesterday when I was shivering in the cold at the market??
This is absolutely fabulous. A beautiful portrait of a wonderful woman. She has many lines from a long and doubtless hard life but she has such a kind face, doesn't she? Am so glad you bought everything she had. Well done on the great portrait.
Wonderful photo! I'm just curious, is there much of a market for thistles and pussy willows? Do people use them for decorating?
You made me cry.This is the face of Srbija some of us know about,thank you very much,kind regards from cold Holland,Aleksandra.
