The photo was taken between 10-1 o'clock on the morning and the light manipulated in photoshop

As you are asking for critiques :D
I think it is a great photo with the left that is black and the visible area at the right with more light in the center. Maybe the old woman is too centered? ;)

Yes,i agree that it's not good that she is centered,i hadn't cropped the photo,but as you said that,i will try to flip and crop the too much black....right now :D

I like the second one better because it is "more in zoom" too but that's just my opinion. Other people might like the first one better :)
Curious to hear about other people's opinion now!

Here's my two cents but hey what do I know. I think the wall is too white, I would have it all darker with light just on the old womans face and what she is doing with her hands.;) Not so dark that you can't make out the picture, I guess light on her to focus on the old woman. Nice picture. If I had to choose between the two I would pick the second one.

I like the second one better too. There's only one thing wrong with it. When you flipped the photo, the sign in the lower left corner now has the writing backwards. :D What is she cooking?

Beautiful photo Sophia! All the different textures make it such an interesting photo. They are all so different, but tie in so well together.

I did notice how you took the slight brownish colour out of her hair and bandana when you took it out of the wall (but that might just be being picky lol) :D

It needed unsharp mask and now it's slight again.
