Untitled

the image was shot at mid day - with direct sunlight.

 

The lighting is harsh and the shadows around Fatima's eyes dont add

much to the image. The picture has many technical imperfections but I

like it.

 

The image was shot on the beached of Nuweba, Sinai. Fatima with three

others like her sell , scarfs and jewellery to the tourists who

populate the beaches.

 

I asked her how old she was in my broken Arabic. "Ana - arba wa

ishreen, Inti ?" (I -24, you?). "Arabaeen" (40), she replied.

 

Like the barks that define the age of the tree, her wrinkles define

her life

Suchitra, you apologize needlessly. This is a remarkable and touching portrait that evokes a deep human response. Well done. - Roy

powerful image and one that I might like to see cropped a bit more from the top so her eyes are what you see rather than her forehead. Very strong texture

Suchitra this is a good shot I like it too....

and sum times subject and message is more Important than technical details.... especially in Journalism.

 

Keep it up!
