I would say everything that's been said already. I can only ponder and wonder at the tribes who are so uptight about possessing their women that they force them to hide in hot clothing to cover their attractiveness. A sad thing that does not really have anything to do with Mohammed's Koran and God's greatness.

Isn't she gorgeous! Such a classical beauty. I admire the contrast in textures, particularly in the DOF. The colour also soothes the eye. Did you set this up purposely or was this a 'happy event' photo? This is a fabulous portrait Behrooz, well done!

@Helen: Thanks, Helen. I'm glad you liked it. This is just a candid shot taken outside.

Kylie Greenan from Richmond, Australia

This is a lovely portrait, I like the composition and especially the soft tones of this portrait, the expression on her face leads you to wonder what she is thinking. Beautifully clear... well done and thanks for sharing!

Would have been truly striking if she had been looking directly at the camera but I know how hard that can be! I think I would have included less hair & more neck to bring her eyes more above the centre line (but just slightly more). A fine shot nonetheless and another wonderful portrait.
