It is played out and she's not muslim you are right. I just did a little test to see if these scarf girls really do so good on DPC and I must say it did preety well. If my hand would of slipped too much on neatimage sliders, and make it look like a barbie doll probably I would of even made top 10. I know she's beautiful she's my whife to be, but taking advance of mother nature's nature's art (her beauty) and playing a bit of filters in PS is just too easy for me. I don't like too easy. I like to challenge myself to more than that, altho for a portrait there is not much else that you can do. This was just a little test.

Thaks everyone for the comments I really apreciate them and Cristina (the model) apreciates them too. They are good for her moral. I hope she won't go out looking for guys better looking than me tho :))

Hehe, well if you look careful in the lower right, I just gave him some money and he was just sticking them in his pocket in this moment. But he was not selling anything, he's a street musician. He played a bit on his instrument I don't know it's name in english. :)

I understand what you are saying, but this is candid. Meaning she didn't even know I was there, (camouflaged myself behind another hayestack). I like to capture raw emotion of these people, I like them to be natural how they are, to me that is so much more important than moving the lady around and telling her how to stay. If I'd do that I belive she will not behave natural anymore she will pose for the camera. Ofcourse what you say is true but it's verry hard to keep it candid and also compose it flawless.

I have seen this earlier in the portrait outtakes forum, and I must say in my opinion after voting the entire challenge 80% of the entries are worse than this one. It lacks a bit of contrast tho, looks a bit washed out, it is nice and sharp a tiny little bit of curves in PS could make it much better. Anyways tehnicaly it's ok, it's expressive, it's a good portrait.
