About I noticed this very sympathetic old Polish woman with her Rosary beads and very modest clothing just outside the most famous site for Poland's Christian believer's (almost all are Catholic) the monastary of Jasna Gora. This Monastary also has in it's possession the most important icon of the Catholic faith in Poland - The Black Madonna. The "Black Madonna" was believed to be painted in 1434 on top of the original version, painted in 1430, but damaged by thieves. There are many other points of interest inside the monastary.as well as a legendary history dating back to 1382. Even though the town gets flooded with many pilgrams a few times a year this woman really stood out for me. I was only able to get 3 shots with a strong zoom (no bracketing) and this one's the one that worked the best. When I see this shot of her I always think of the Biblical line "The meek shall inherit the Earth" - which is probably true (as long as it's not in it's present, dismal shape) No PS used. Scanned off an 11 x 14 inch print on the Epson flatbed.

Great image and surrounding ,like the expression caught, her deep thinking is much far from where she is.. A well done street natural capture. Best wishes ,Saeed

Hi Mark,
This shot is impressive. The expression and the story is very interesting! I really like this shots--street shots. And yes I agree with you that most of time, you really need to be fast in capturing street scenes coz most of the time your subjects might not be interested to see you pointing at them. And just before you compose your image, your subjects are gone! I have experienced this many times but then sometimes patience works so well to capture great images. But sometimes I'm telling myself I'm not leaving this place without the image that I want... Anyway, impressive portrait, Mark. Really really nice!

Keep Shootin' From The Heart,
LarryM.P.

Hi Arwa, Thanks for commenting. To answer your question a lot of times when I do Street photography I have so little time I just shot first and think later (I always try to get people looking out their apartment windows or balconies and as soon as they see you with a camera / zoom they go inside) I had to get this VERY fast AND there were so many people around that I had to shoot Vertical to keep other people out of the shot. I think one of my other shots of this women was ruined because someone was walking into it (I should review the other slides but that means finding them in my less than perfect organized system....). Glad you like it. Take care, Mark

Hello mark?the thumbnail doesn?t give this image justice!
I like the colors of this image, they seem to all have a blue hue about them which works with the pilgrims peaceful expression
The wall works as a great background but why did you compose this image vertically instead of horizontally
