This woman in her sixties has just said goodbye and thank you to two ambulance men as they drove off with someone she knows. She is among other things, an alcoholic. She stands still on the pavement for a minute possibly reflecting. Then she crosses the road to join her other friends under a nearby bridge.

This photo has been digitally retouched.

I love the composition in this and the woman's expression and body language evoke curiosity about her, I'm glad you explained the story behind it or I'd be jumping to my own conclusions! The sepia tone is nice as is the wet pavement. Looking at ways of improving it, I can't decide if it would look better with or without the shadow of the other person on the far right, maybe play around with that bit.
