She doesn't look very happy. I love the contrast in this photo.

Ian Smith from London, United Kingdom

Perfect timing and framing! Its like a scene from the olden days, not something I'd expect to see in this day and age - maybe we should all chip in and buy her a Dyson? *_^

@Ian Smith: haha! Thanks Ian, I think you might be right.

Steve Rice from Olympia, United States

No matter the burden, she will do the work and do it well. The essence of the Japanese character it seems to me. This is a superb shot.

What a scene and mood... not the most cheerful expression but she's so elegant and charming... and the place is perfectly neat and tidy! Wonderful catch Stu!

You've got a good eye. Like I said before - I love your works.

This is, if I may say so, "classic Stu." The composition is sharp and you have captured a quiet, contemplative moment with a solitary figure, something you do very well. And your b&w work always has wonderful tones.
