I agree this is the best in a strong gallery. A great mix of a compression of subjects that mirror each other with the child tying them together in a look to the viewer. Nit-picking perhaps, but the fill-flash on your D200 would have lifted the shadows on the child's face: umbrellas and headwear always create this problem. Chapeau...
Une image remarquable, Marc, et c'est ma préférée : la composition, ces personnes habillées en blanc qui ne regardent pas toutes dans la même direction, et la seule à faire attention au photographe, la petite fille, elle, n'est pas vêtue de blanc ! VBV.
I promised myself I would not pick a favourite ...but..the little girl is engaging with us, the viewer whilst everyone else seems remote...again...perfect timing of 'the moment'
