This is perfect. I'm trying really hard to find something to give advice on but everything works out perfectly. The composition is nice, the tight framing right on spot. The grain gives a nice, sad and moody effect, that as Rob kind of prooved it, can't be without. The B&W is a nice choice, it's hard to image this picture in colour, I really do thing that would not have the same effect. And as for the cloud, above her head. I just have to say that that's wonderful, it's magnificently placed. Did you wait for it to go there? I mean it just leaves it so much to interpretation! For one thing you could say that it's the girls soul, flying off. or maybe the dead's soul flying past the praying girl. The wind blowing on the girl's hair is just a fabulous detail. This is perfect as it is and I can't keep myself from faving it.

Nice silhouette. Good eye to capture this image. There seems to be quite a bit of noise in the sky. The silhouetted areas have a nice deep black to them. I wonder if you could either clean up the noise in the sky bg - OR - introduce some noise to the black silhouette areas? Not sure...anyway, nice catch. Smile and keep having fun!


I personally like it better with the noise.Kinda makes the atmosphere IMO.
Good to hear others opinion though!

I agree witht the below statment and I really agree with the great potential with the wind and the hair.

Very strange image. It is very noisy, not necessarily a bad thing but a little rough-looking since there is noticeable haloing around the cross and figure both, probably introduced in post processing (levels or USM) but possibly (since this appears to be an extreme crop) a function of in-camera high sharpening. I'd like to see an original on this. The hair is so bizarre that there's great potential in the shot.

My e-mail is on my profile if you want to send it.
