Self Potrait

Comment by wehrmacher:
I am surprised that commenters missed the despair. Judging from the hijab, she is a Muslim woman, beautiful to be sure, and is, in many ways, a very second class citizen with little or no chance of breaking out of the mold, even in America. Sorry, political observation.

The photo itself, it wonderful. Great portrait of a stunning lady showing so much going on behind her beautiful eyes.

Comment by dsa157:
a crooked horizon, the foreground street light and the barrel distorion in the towers are too many distractions to overcome in this shot.

Comment by Neuferland:
Not sure I understand the title but this does fit the challenge. The only things I would have changed is the lamp post on the left, very distracting and takes away from the buildings themselves.

Comment by ButterflySis:
Cool subject. Seems a little blurry and could use some USM. The gray mass in the top right corner is distracting. Parts of the sky are purple - may be from compression? Also, a little CCW rotation might help straighten the buildings.

Nice attempt.

Out of place lamppost and strange dark shadow in top right. Might have been better with a good crop

Comment by mclaren_choo:
the angle is a little odd there... my personal opinion... maybe its good to separate the alien being from the petronas as it kills the composition... i ve been there personally and i think there ar much much more beautiful angles to take them, given the height of these creature. carry on shooting!

I think most people know these buildings. Kualar Lumpar right? Aren't they the tallest buildings in the world? Good shot.

I have the same leaning in on the edges. I know that's a characteristic of the lens. I don't know of a way to correct it. Do you. good picture
