Khorasan Little Girl Photo

Photographer’s Note

Kid is always cute, kid [should] means happiness…
While other kids were attracted to one direction, this little girl looked to the opposite direction. I am not sure why…

This picture was captured at a very small village. Simply, just a cluster of very simple houses in the middle of very dry dessert of South Khorasan. This is not a tourist destination, I visited this place to learn how people in this extremely dry climate manage their living

Hi Ben
A good capture - you have done something in PP, right? I suspect maybe you've added blur, because there's a noticable edge around her clothing? Whatever you've done, it works well anyway. Congratulations.

Hello Benyamin.
She is a beautiful young woman. Your DOF is very well done. The colors pop through the photo very well. What catches me here is her expression. A bit curious, but mostly disinterested. Truly fantastic.
Very well done,
Chris

Good angle and nice capture. The PP works well, giving it a less cluttered, more 3-D effect, but as Rew said, it is noticable on the edges if you look closely. Maybe some additional touch up with a healing brush might be of advantage.
Cheers

Absolutely beautiful portait Benyamin. Your PP work of blurring around the girl works excellently here, almost like a shallow DOF effect. Well done with beautiful colours & the innocence on her face

Hi Benyamin, nice capture, I like how you used blur to make her stand out from the people around her. If I were you, I would go in with the blur brush tool and fix a few of the sharp edges, especially the edge on the right side between her face and the brown and black thing. Other than that, great shot, very interesting!

Thanks for sharing!

Hi Benyamin,
Superb portrait of the kid. This is one of the first I am seeing from Iran and I am very interested with the dress, the headscarf she is wearing. Good use of the short DOF.

Hi Benyamin,
You've captured good detail in theis well-framed portrait. You say she's looking away from the other children and her expression looks sad and isolated. Sounds like interesting work you're engaged in, with the the global warming, we will need to learn to live without water.
