Old Woman from Cholistan

i saw this woman standing under a tree outside shrine of Saint

Chanan Pir in Cholistan Desret. she looked at me & covered her face

in veil as she saw me pointing camera at her. comments/ critique/

ratings welcome.

Excellent light compositon charctar, well done..!

This is a beautiful portrait; nice coloring, great lighting. It's fabulous!!!

cool shot! Had to take a double-take, as I'm used to seeing scenes similar to this but with "all" black shawls. Really interesting sequins etc... Would've been a "10" if she'd have been looking into the camera, but I'm not one to talk as I can hardly even get up the courage to take people shots of my own family! :-)

 

Excellent work!

Excellent portrait. great sharpness and the detailings. Fantastic.

excellent..

Umair, this is an incredible shot. The wrinkled face of the old woman, full of dignity and experience of life, the artful design of the fabric and the subtle details in the blacks. Congratulations. Best regards. Karl

thanx guys 4 feedback> dear Karl, this photo will always b dear 2 me. this is very very special. regards!

Umair,very good capture of age,dignity and coyness.The intricate designs on the veil,competes with the wrinkles on her face.Very good exposure and light. Just a suggestion:-Would it not have been better to crop the image above the hole in the veil?

thanx Sircar Ji! well, when u have an image, u can play with it many ways. i like ur idea. regards!

Really beautiful, Umair! Best regards, Ruud.

Simply facinating. Another wonderful image.

buhut piaree umair bahi excellent capture of her age and texture of cloth with nice composition regards

There is no equilibrium of dimensions in composition between the head which is relatively too small comparing it with the body.

 

This face of this aged Lady is extremely well exposed and of unbeatable details along with very well saturated colors and original skin tone.

 

Personally, I have enjoyed viewing this portrait work to the maximum, and I must thank you for sharing this with us.

 

Please my friend do not take my comment here otherwise as I have always been very impressed with what you post here.

 

Wishing you all of the best

 

thanx Abdullah for ur kind considerations. i found your observatins very very constructive! regards!

Umair, Composition aside, I'm glad you included so much of that glorious cloth. There is a real sense of her being enveloped. I find her face to be incredibly beautiful--the lines representing a road map to her life. I don't know how to give a rating for originality, here. Your scenes are so different from my day-to-day experience in Boston. For me, each photo is a glimpse into another world and makes mine seem so devoid of color. Exceptional shot.

Umair, this is an incredible shot. The wrinkled face of the old woman, full of dignity and experience of life, the artful design of the fabric and the subtle details in the blacks. Congratulations. Best regards.

Amist the abstract pattern of her dress the appearance of an ancient face..Well done Umair.

Lovely portrait, Umair, so full of life, color, the experience of a long life. One of the best in your portfolio. Congrats.
