 This is my colleague from work, Sabrina.. She is one cool girl and loves posing for the camera. I find her eyes very beautiful and expressive. She doesn't usually wear this mask called "burqa" and wore it upon my request. Shot in the office, with natural light coming in through the window.

Crop, conversion to BW, some minor cloning, high pass and denoise filters, border and resize for DPC.

I don't understand why she is yearning for freedom. She looks quite happy to me and has a twinkle in her eye. There is a complete disconnect between the photograph and the point you seem to be forcing on to it which is a bit off putting.

I can't see any expression or emotion in those eyes. Hiding her face seems to have stolen her personality.

I like the composition, but her eyes need to be in sharp focus.
