[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
She was hiding behind the wall to prevent me to take her photo..However, she was currious enough so she was getting out once in a while to check what I am doing. So by using continous picture facility of the camera, I managed to capture her like this

Mahwit'de dolasirken bu genc kadin merakli bakislariyla bizi takip ediyordu ama fotograf makinasini dogrultuncada duvarin arkasina saklaniyordu eski mahalleden ayrilmadan once onu yine duvarin arkasinda gorunce f.makinesinin netlik noktasi vs. ayarlarini duzenleyip seri cekime getirip, basini duvarin kenarindan uzattigi anda bu kucuk oyunumuzu belgeledim..

Those eyes don't just speak...they sing a sog. I lvoe the veiled beauty in this image that ahs been captured so well from a lvely angle and pov. The face may not be visible but this image itself hasa face. Lovely job

Nice soft feel to your photo; The focus on her with the foreground blurred, speaks volumes for me towards the culture of women there. Thanks for this delight of curiosity.

best wishes, j.

Very beautiful. The eyes look really curious and interested. It is not one of those photos in which the subject is trying to escape the photographer and hide.

Hic telasa kapilmadan kizin gozlerine netleyebilmen, kompozisyon olusturman filan hayranlik verici. Gercekten cok guzel olmus. Sadeligini de cok begendim.
Tebrikler.

Hi Cengiz, it's readable in her eyes how curious she was! Great dof and a beautiful portrait.

Netlik ve kerpiç duvarlar ile kızın siyah çarşafının zıtlığı çok hoş bir fotoğraf ortaya çıkarmış.

Ama sizi asıl, benim cesaret edemediğim birşeyi yapıp, yemen de bir kızın resmini çektiğiniz için tebrik ederim :)

Selamlar,
Haluk

Nice catch Cengiz. Focus right on the eyes. Simple color palette. A little flat (contrast wise) but still a very good shot.

On another note, if she was hiding from the camera, I'm not sure it was appropriate to take this. It is a good shot but ashame. I was in Yemen a year back and the best part about it was the lack of tourism. It was a culture that was so innocent and "pure" to the world. Unfortunately, I feel that is changing very quickly...

...and I hope you were careful, especially with all those Jambiya's around - looking at the two on my wall right now...

Still, a good shot.
Nice work.
John

Cengiz merhaba,
çok etkileyici, ilgi uyandıran ve netliği harika... tebrikler...

While a good catch, with her eyes on the camera, I have to agree with John about photo-taking. Having just returned from 3 weeks traveling around the country, it is one of a handful of countries left that aren't spoiled by excessive tourism. And the women do not like to be photographed, so why go against this?

Yes, the draw is there as it's a foreign country and indeed an interesting thing about Yemen and the Middle East, but up close photos like this seem a bit intrusive. Not to say I didn't take a few photographs of the women there, but if a woman ever directly told me not to photograph her, I wouldn't go out of my way to do so...

Excellent capture Cengiz! I saw many women/girls wearing this clothes in Egypt, and, of course, you know that it is not commom here in Brazil. This clothes enhances a lot the eyes and the look, and the eyes are the door to the soul. So, its why your picture is so nice, capturing the soul through her eyes/look. Well taken!
