Starting young on the market stalls in the ancient city of Bagan in Myanmar (Burma). She had been left in charge of this food stall whilst her mother was temporarily absent but I have no idea what this food was. The mono focuses attention on the girl but I've included a colour version so you can see the food and the cosmetic thanakha paste on her face.
The market stalls were so packed together it was almost 'covered', and quite dark hence the Iso 1000, and 1/40sec.
Many thanks to Andy, John and Ann for their UAs on Eastern Gold and to everyone else for their clicks/comments.

Have to say Dave I like both versions, the food is not too bright to distract in the colour version, the mono conversion does make you look at the main subject first, equal marks this time.
Regards
Trev.
Mono for me, in colour the goods take my attention away from the face and hands.
Looks like shrimps to me.
Moira
The diffuse lighting has worked really well for her skin but the mono probably has more impact as a portrait though I find it hard to chose. Her eye contact, hand gesture (is she showing the goods, encouraging a look or been snacking?!) and enigmatic expression really makes the image work for me. Lots to look at and a wonderful character portrait.
Super image Dave, I have a slight preference for V1,
Fred.
A wonderful portrait with great light and colour V2. makes the light better you can tell
that there are prawns actually in the bag. Well done. WesternRed.
Beautiful images - mono just pips it for me - picks out the detail on the little girl's face perfectly. 
I like both for different reasons it would be difficult to choose a favourite
fine idea the mono it does focus you on the wee lass fine works David
Graham
Both version are very good. Top travel photography!
JNC
The food looks like miniature prawns, the BW version is wonderful..........adds mystery........very nice..............
Interesting - I'm in the minority by a long chalk. I love the colour version by miles and miles Dave! It brings out so much more detail (imho) - the colours are interesting and not too bright, especially the bamboo fence and the prawns.
Ann
Two cracking images, Dave, and both work equally well. The colour works best on showing us the food in the foreground, but think mono works better on the girl 
Trev
I'm liking both of these - there's a nice warmth in v2, but I must say that v1 is the more striking image. A cracker.
Anne
Has to be the b&w, Dave. I just feel we are more focused on the boy rather than the distractions of his wares. The b&w has far more impact.
Malc
Had to have another look. It's just as brilliant as the first time.
JNC
Both work well. For me the skin colouring and light on her face mean it has to be v2
Helen
did you try the shrimps?
looks best in colour to me, as much as I like the mono I like to see what I'm eating!
Both versions are high class Dave, these images from your trip to Burma have given us a real insight into their way of life
