Traveling the World

My friend Simon took this photo using his Canon Digital SLR while we were in the Old Town area of Shanghai. As you can see, it was raining that day, and the rain was a beautiful touch in the foreground. The beautiful architecture surrounding her makes for another piece of brilliant foreground material. Despite all this, the mood the woman displayed was the greatest part of the photo, and something you couldn’t do better yourself with the help of Photoshop!

I have no idea what this woman was thinking, but she looks like she was staring off into the distance, as if she were awaiting someone’s arrival. The sadness in her eyes is so deep one must stop and think, “how can someone be so sad?” Her folded hands makes her look stubborn like she’s the trunk of a tree, and she’s not going anywhere. My only hope is that she got what she was waiting for.
