A lovely portrait, Madeline and your story/confession is touching too. I like the way you included her bags. We never know who we are meeting in the street - we all make assumptions and so often are wrong. F/L And featured in Street Photography.
Madeline Ellis replied:
Frank, such a lovely comment and thanks for the F/L as well. I am honored that you featured this photo in Street Photography.

Sad image.
Madeline Ellis replied:
Yes, it is sad. She was a very proud woman who was insulted that confused her with a beggar.
