Hi Samuel !
There is a touch of an extreme beauty in your photo. Great light. And it provoked me to push a little further the post processing just to reveal the delicacy and beauty of the praying person. Hope You'll don't mind my bold intervention ;)).
Greetings T.

shalom aleichem, samuel

a beautiful shot. the light is quite suited for the the spiritual context of the scene. and the scene itself is quite unusual for a foto: it's not that often we see a muslim woman praying being fotographed. i agree with the workshop though at least in terms of getting rid of the basket: the placement of it is horrid in this picture; unfortunately with that lense it would be practically impossible to blur the basket out via more shallow DOF. in terms of colors: i like the colored version better though.

warm regards,
kristaps

Bonjour Samuel,
Cette publication m'interpèle car je la trouve intéressante par l'intimité qu'elle représente et par l'attitude de la jeune femme ; par contre l'environnement n'est pas "top" et bien que le visage ressorte assez bien il me semble que la scène manque de netteté.
A bientôt sur TE pour de nouvelles aventures.
Gérard

Hi Samuel,
this is a well made shot. I like the composition, and you capruted a very interesting moment. Her shape reminds me of a swan. Maybe she is a bit out of focus, but it does not spoil this nice picture.
Thanks for sharing
Michal
