Anyone can snap a shot of a watch. The only redeeming value of this picture is the border.

Nicely framed, and love the detail in the decorations. I wish the focal point was a bit further back though so that her eyes/face were more focused with the fabric being less of the focal point. As it is, my eye is immediately drawn to the circles of gems in the lower left corner.

Wonderfully shot -- her face is framed within a frame of her hair and then within her headscarf. Nice coposition and colours.

Her face is certainly framed, which is cool, although I'm not sure that the framing is really a background or foreground element. Just an observation. :)

My first impression is that the scarf is very well focused and sharp, especially on the flat plane. Because of that it makes her face seem soft, almost too soft. Her left eye (our right as a viewer) is sharp, as is her mouth. Looks like the shallow DOF made her nose and the leading scarf edge fall out of the focal plane. I guess what I'm trying to say is the scarf is more dazzling and sharp than the intended subject and is stealing the show a little.

All JMO of course. :-) Good luck in the challenge.

beautiful shot. I do find all the hairs distracting though...
