woman with niqab and red nails

Taken last summer at an Indian Festival in what was the original Little India area, here in Toronto.
While looking for interesting subjects, I noticed a young Muslim woman wearing a long black dress, with a colourful headscarf, and Niqab or face cover. She was also wearing what looked like designer sunglasses, and carried a cell phone in her hand with red-manicured nails.
I liked the confluence of cultural symbols, and when she stopped to shop at a street vendor, I grabbed this shot.

Quite intriguing picture with several different stories in it. At first I whished the sunglasses would have been a little bit more visible but finally, it add to the story that I found them only when looking a second time.

Bruno,
thanks for commenting.
The shot isn't the best I've ever posted, but it was tough to get as the light was lousy (f16 bright, contrasty day) and she was wandering in and out of groups of shoppers, making it difficult to get a clear shot, so I took what I got. For me it was more about the story being presented than the quality of photo presenting it, if that makes sense.
