@Jan: Thanks very much Jan!
@Michael Skorulski: Thanks Michael...you're a mind reader! - I originally titled this photo 'Concentration' before changing my mind!
GJC from Kyoto, Japan
Really well done. The framing is excellent as is the very intense feeling of a complex and fascinating narrative waiting to be told.

Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada
Oh Ian, it's a treasure, the intensity of the artist and the resigned expression on the 'model''s face..I can see why he wanted to sketch/paint her, there's almost a quiet desperation quality in her...WOW you 've captured something precious. Whether they knew you were taking a photo or not is not part of their world I'm in awe...

Paul van der Meer from Valkenswaard, Netherlands

@Paul van der Meer: Thanks Paul...it's that expression of concentration that made me want to take the photo!
Michael Rawluk from Prince George, Canada
I love it. It looks like she working at remaining neutral in expression.

great composition here Ian, a classic street scene, man, you've got such a good eye, must be related to your work in architecture...i'm sure this could be anywhere but maybe the square at the top of Montmarte?...reminds me of a Picasso painting I saw in some book years ago...also Valazquez...part of his painting, Las Meninas...ok, it's only a vague resemblance of the artist at his easel looking out at his model/models...
