Muslim woman praying

This one I took while in Esfahan-Iran. I spent nearly 8 months in

Iran and after that time I had no troubles with photography. With the

limited help of my Persian language I was able to negotiate entrance

to any Mosque or Holy Sites. Experiences well worth it. Original of

this picure is colour, but I think b&w is more powerfull. What do you

think?

Pavel, I see a tighter cropping-eliminating the left had side and some of the top. In addition, I'd like to see more detail on the floor. With your indulgence, I've uploaded what I see.

I would crop it differently, leaving the empty space in front of woman. I uploaded the version I did. Cropping this way improved the feeling of a prayer for me. Though I gotta remind I am just a beginner in photography.

One more question as a muslim guy, in my country you don't want go close to praying people due to respect. Didn't she object?
