[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
At an indoor suq whose vendors mainly sold clothing, fabric, and household items... This small Uighur city in Chinese Turkistan is known primarily for it's tasty grapes and having the hottest climate in all China. The city itself is relatively uninspiring, but the surrounding villages make for great day-trips.

ISO at 250 ASA and focal length at 70.0mm.

Salut Caleb..
J'aime beaucoup cette photo avec ce dégradé de couleur, tant par la lumière que par les motifs du foulard..
Bravo
Cyril

Hi Caleb,
Having seen that bright red from you, i urged to jump in the image!
What a great bokeh you have with the kid! And the scarf, it is really tasty. Lovely light, which tends to get lost in the lower areas. Great work of art! TFS,
Deniz

Hi Caleb,

Her eyes take up such a tiny part of the image, but its the most powerful part of the shot for me. The red seems to direct our eyes straight to hers. Nice work.

Striking red and eye peeking through it. f/2.8 works well but the boy playing with his nails is a bit off a let-down. What's that stuff in the lower left corner? Regards,
Hakan

The light in her eyes--such timing, you must have seen her coming to capture this with the best DOF

It's almost 15 years since I was in This part of china, but I cant remember that I saw anyone that was covered then. How common is it to day?
otherwise a great portrait where you showing the profile of the woman in a delicate way.

Hola Caleb,
Una foto con dos grandes focos de atracción, el increible color rojo de la indumentaria de la mujer y ese ojo asomando y reclamando nuestra atención. Excelente trabajo.
Saludos,
Mirari

superb dramatic shot with glaring red. the opposite-faced blurred image gives it a strong impact

Your photos continue to amaze me Caleb. The sharpness here on the woman, and her very interestingly patterned burqa.

And the fact that you caught her eye, really adds to your photo.

Regards,
David
