It was a hot day, believe me, a really hot one. I walked around Ho Chi Minh City probably like 4 hours that day and by the time I saw this old woman I was starting to feel really tired. I guess that after I saw her I thought of nothing more than taking an afternoon nap but my curiosity kept me walking and observing.

@Makoto: Thank you very much Makoto, I am using the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom right now, I decreased the vibrance of colors and then I tried using split toning for the shot, I used yellow for the light tones and some kind of blue for the dark tones, this processing was kind of a experiment for me!
Awesome candid shot ...

@reflected concepts: Thank you very much Reflected Concepts! =)
I like the light colors in the pic. Is the lady taking a rest or selling something? I guess she's just taking a rest. jajaja.. lo de la chancleta, pensé que se le había dañado. =)
