I like the star flare behind her... it's a very theatrical image and the light w/flare gives the illusion of being the source of her back lighting. It's interesting which photos generate the most feedback, it's rarely those that are technically perfect.
the image is ok, but, IMHO you can make it stronger converiting it in black and white. blue cast and this annoying light behind the woman will be gone and the picture will be better
You know when I was standing there on 58th. and 5th. ave, and saw this woman coming toward me in her stately fashion, she grabbed me. As a photographer I want to translate that emotion into a picture for others to see/experience. I want to communicate to people, who don't/haven't experienced the power of Manhattan, or any bustling metropolis, the energy masses of humanity can give off. You feel it like a current there on the street. At least I do. I think the greats had to have also. They must have.
