A B&W Portrait

[johnaalex]

This little old lady sells flower garlands (very popular in Thailand) in Patong's Soi Bangla (the main bar street).

All comments welcome. Shot was taken with D300, Nikon 50mm 1.4 and I used NX2 for the conversion.

I think I prefer the framing of the first, although the expression in the second has more character. Shame you couldn't have one with the other really.

I know what you mean, I could always crop the second one, but I would chop off the flowers....
