Photographer’s Note

this is the only one female portrait with smile i captured at the school i visited. she actually is a teacher for the school. i was surprise that she didn't cover her face (normally, a female older than 13 years old and unmarried, has to cover their face, and hands). i also have been told that if somebody is well educated, she won't do it. that's a good sign to me to see this country's future. more and more educated people in this country, more changes will take place. hope that's the future they want.

J-P,

Hi JeanPaul

A superb portrait of the young woman, with the vibrant red shawl & hijab. Good use of a shallow dof with superb facial sharpness. Bon weekend et tous mes compliments!

Hi JP,
nice portrait. Seems to be a very characteristic face in typical clothing. I think it is focused on the top of the scarf, it is always a bit better to focus on the eyes, however I know it may be not as easy as it sounds.
Good work,
M
