..i'm not sure i'm actually going to spend any time replying to this.
it's not to show walking, as she's standing still, it's not to show her as it's not a glamour shot, it's not to show the background as it's just some city buildings, and the emotion is only a slight part of the image itself as well.
i take photos i like to see - it's not a story, it's not a movie, it's not a character or anatomy study. it's just an image made up of colours, shapes, lines, and lighting.
that's what it is meant to show.
take a look at the rest of my photography and maybe you'll get what i'm saying.
i'm not a storyteller or movie director, nor am i a journalistic photographer that takes photos of happy old men with no teeth smiling for the camera. it's just shapes and colours, that's all. it's not a postcard.
