Woman in Red

Mali has a light brown color because of the mud constructions and the desert, what animate it is the cloths of the people especially the women fabrics, that have very vivid colors and shapes. All of them from young to old, in the cities as well as in the villages.

 

Thanks, I will appreciate your written impressions, Pnina

Thanks, Pnina

very interesting and colorfull portrait. I have a problem to show such portraits without a declaration of consent. Greetings Otto

Interesting, intense portrait, Pnina. A pity there are some signs on top where you blurred the background.

Thanks Otto and Paula.

 

Otto, it was taken in the street.

 

Paula, thanks I looked again, and corrected it.

 

Una magnifica imagen: Bellos tonos de color, encuadre, luz, composicion, y un fondo de Cine, un cordial saludo Pnina.----------A magnificent image: Beautiful tones of color, setting, light, composition, and a bottom(fund) of Cinema, a cordial greeting Pnina.

beautiful portrait...beautiful colours!!!

I feel as if she is breathing a sigh of releif, or she is just hot and exhausted. Interesting expression. Great color!!!

Great detail on her face; thank you for the information.

 

Regards...

yellow, blue, red...Nice, Pnina, and wonderful way to lose the background. I like her being in profile, too, it adds drama to the picture. How do they keep the clothes so bright and clean in all that dust?

Beautiful and colorful portrait,Pnina.

Thanks to all of you, I saw suffering in her face.

 

Lee, they wash their cloths, especially those who live close to a water source like the niger.

Great color and detail. The blur is creeping onto the red cloth, though, at the top and only in small spots. Might be worth a rework on the background, since this is a strong portrait.

Thank you Kim, I worked on it again,I think I have corrected it. please let me know if it is better now.

intense portrait, amazing colours.

The colours are wonderful Pnina, I love her profile against the vibrant red...well seen!

Pnina, a strong thought provoking image. Great color. I've spent two days just wondering about her thoughts. The picture begs for questions. Well done

Great colors Pnina and expression,like acting on stage.

One of your best Pnina. The brown wall at the top is a little distracting - cloning it off is better IMHO.

Thanks, all of you.

 

Clarence no answers , but many questions yes!

 

Alec, thanks for your suggestion, I will give it a try , even I like that brown wall that is compatible to her face color.

 

Pnina

i do not mind the brown wall, it adds a little i think by darkening that area, drawing more attention to her face as i think it should. i like the composition and colors as well, wish i could see a little more of her eyes.

A beautiful colorful portrait with nice expression of the face. !

Thanks Ben and Alex.

 

Ben, I saw pain and suffering in her face, So I think her eyes is a part of it.I wish as well they were more open.

 

 

The fabrics used in the clothing are truly spectacular! I almost want to see a portait of this woman, facing the camera. Do you have more photos of her, Pnina? If so, would you mind posting one or two as attachments to this one?

 

I notice that the shoulder of her garment has pleats in it ... do they make their own garments? If so, I'm even more impressed. And WHY are westerners not purchasing clothing made in these places? I'd be much more interested in purchasing these amazing pieces of clothing than I would be onions........

Lou Ann, Sorry it was taken in the street and it is the only one I have.

 

They have beautiful cloths, and yes they are doing it themselves. One of our group even ordered a cloths that was prepared for her (with taking measures)during one night(relatively very expensive...).

 

They sell cloths on the streets and markets as well, but no sizes of course. Pnina
