it looks like there's a second woman without the cloth covering her face ... larger and to the left and slightly distorted ... freedom at a price .. :)

again, the tetures of the overall image add to the total feeling. These images, yesteray & today's are great ones. Remind me of a series of pen & Ink drawings (The Nucleus) an artist friend (Sylvia Edwards) of mine did when she lived in Iran (when it was still US-friendly).

What rings loudest for me in these images is the sense that women are still subjected to laws which limit their freedom & potential. sigh...

Agree with all thats been said and think that the darkness in the bottom half fading out into the light fits perfectly. Beautiful and haunting shot.

Your blur series has really been wonderful to look at. I love all the emotions in these. This one especially speaks to me. She looks scared, like she's looking to us for help. Nicely captured. Love the processing.

Comment by Jutilda:
She looks quite fearful. Maybe she's escaping from a horrible life.

Comment by krnodil:
I like how all these shapes and shadows are arranged in the frame - very effectively composed, and I think, the facial features are clearer than in your earlier shots, which gives it an entirely different feel. Before things looked a bit haunting and scary, but her relatively sharply-realized face here, especially the eyes, makes the emotion engendered in the viewer (or, just *this* viewer) to be closer to pathos than to fear.

going for a Librodo feel?? hehehe

great image, being shot through a gauze (?) & the processing here really gives this a strong feeling. I like the strands of the necklaces around her face, gives the eyes a jewelry-like feel to them
