Self portrait. taken with window light. I used my nikon digital P&S to take this, which actually has very wide depth of field even at wide open aperature. I used airbrush and blur tool and sharpen tool to get the effect in this picture. Duotone gives it the contrast and the warm tones.

Nice focus and clarity. Might be more powerful if the eyes were looking straight ahead.

Yes, but her eyes are looking to her right... unnerving.

Nice clarity and focus on the eyes. However, I find this extreme closeup unsettling and uncomfortable.

With the androgeny of eyes, it immediately brings to mind the suppression of many women hiding behind burkahs, although I'm sure many choose to wear them and are not forced. This could easily be a boy in hiding as well. Excellent detail. You could almost crop it panoramic style and only show the skin and not the dark fabric, but then the social commentary would be lost. I think though, for the title to fit perfectly, the eyes would be looking directly at the viewer. With the focus being so well done and the DOF so nicely executed - 7
