Photographer's Note
We were driving on The Friendship Highway from Lhasa to the border of Nepal. We stopped in a little town called Gyantse elev 3950 m.Visiting the Pelkor Choede Monastry.
When we wore walking from the monastry to our hotel, this old lady was sitting on a stair. I only had a few sekunds to take this picture.
Tibet - is one of the most beautiful places on earth. The nature, magnificent monastries, Himalaya and the Tibetan people. I want to go there again.

Welcome to TE with a great street shot. The lady makes for an excellent subject and technically you seem to know your stuff rather well. The picture would have been even better with eye contact, and the blurred stuff along the left edge, maybe a passing person, is a bit distracting. I love the colors and the composition. A note would be very welcome and one would think that, since you traveled all the way to Tibet, you’d have some stories to tell.

Fantastic expression on her face and a wonderfully colorful background. Great job with this given the fleeting circumstances.

Great picture, it's very sharp and that include a great pastel tone for the color.
Well done,
