Top class image. An even tighter crop adds more drama imo.

Anyone else find it slightly distressing to see the woman bent over like that? Quite an emotive shot, to me.

For me as well! I thought for a long time before posting it.

I feel it's a little intrusive, even though she's not identifiable, but still a wonderful image which should be shared.

she has maybe just dropped something

No, she was walking, but very-very slow.

A very compelling image showing the unfortunate reality of life. It provokes sadness and guilt in that an elderly woman has to try and get around in such a manner without help. it is also ironic in that she is stared at by the man and child as she is about to pass a disabled sign.

It deserves to be seen and people should feel emotive.

There is a lady near me who walks just like this, but without the assistance of crutches. It always saddens me when I see how cruel ageing can be. It’s a great image you have taken there.

The old cliched saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" is so true in this case, a great picture and piece of social commentary IMHO.
