What a wonderful image. The color contrasts and piercing eyes make this photo jump out at you. Congratulations on the red.

Originally posted by LevT: Anita, indeed I usually prefer purity of BW portraits, but in this case, I found it hard to deprive the viewer from this feast of colors. Generally, one of the most striking things about India is the contrast between very often dirty and dusty streets and women in their incredibly bright saris, scarves and jewelry... Basically, they ALL are dressed like this, even beggars, or women working in the fields or shoveling dirt.

True actually seeing this in full glory looks more amazing than when I viewed it in voting. I guess we should just congratulate you now for the ribbon you'll receive in the DEC FS :)

NOW that is a face!

I find the colours very distracting though...for a more powerful affect, I would of converted the image into black and white. 8
