About After an exhaustive hike in the cave I was very thirsty so I came upon this tiny shack store on the road tended by this lady sitting on a chair. She didn't respond when I first waved @ her from a distance, then as I stepped closer she looked towards my direction but didn't look @ me. It was after I excused myself that I ask her if she's blind & she said "Yes", I couldn't believe despite her handicap she was still tending a store solely depending on hearing. I ended up having a conversation with her after buying the soda then took this environmental portrait. The other amazing part is she even recognized the sound of the camera's shutter so she started to grab her hair brush so she could look good, amazing lady. Initial print in b&w then sepia toned (Traditional), further editing of tone in Photoshop.

Very strong composition Roland. Very well composed and b&w adds a lot of contrast in it.
Best regards
