Scene in Wentworth Street

[David Cantor]

Wentworth Street and Middlesex Street on the edge of the City of London are the location of the famous Sunday market better known as Petticoat Lane. To be honest, it's a bit down at heel during the week but there are several shops run by African women selling the most colourful and bright clothing material that I've ever seen.  These are powerful, dynamic women and on this occasion I managed to capture one of the daughters who was minding the shop for Mum.  Cropped to 5:4, my favourite ratio.

Very nice portrait of a strong woman.

I agree with Brent and Lex.  I think I'd like it more with a touch more space above her head.

I need to check Stuart but I think I lost the space above her head when I cropped, thanks for the observation.

Thank you Lex,  if I think about it, I should go back and find her mother. Job for early 2024.
