I would have cropped the photo to look like this. Compositionally speaking, I can't say why. I think it's a great photograph that definitely evokes emotion, a feeling of deep sadness for the woman and her children at their plight in life. To me the woman/mother has an expression of resignation, in a resentful sort of way. I think that including the "hole" in the cement to the far right of the boy helps to show the poverty and eternal decay of the surroundings in which they live.

I like the picture as it is. The emotion I see in it is 3 people going about their daily life, tired of waiting for a bus.
This is exactly what the picture said to me. I was just about to start typing the same thing when I read your post. Made me smile that someone else saw the same as me. Thank you.

i think you guys missed it completely. She is thinking "Oh geez, another American tourist wanting to take my photo!"
j/k ;) I like the photo and agree that a slight crop would do much to change the feel of the photo. Keep shooting! :D

Thank you Leicaflex,
That is exactly how I felt in encountering them on a walk in Granada, Guatemala. I think cropping it will lose a bit that sense of loneliness, Don't you?
Thanks again.
