The detail in the robes is great! The gray color makes the entire picture look smoky and mysterious. I love that the center of the photo is lightly, even delicately illuminated while the border all around is darker. The profile of the woman on the left ide is perfectly dark, and works great!

This is a beautiful, dreamy image. The repeated figures and wonderful tones and textures are a pleasure to look at. It looks as though the corners are darkened, and I think they need to be lightened up just slightly. To me there seems too big a difference between the light center and dark edges, like they've been burned just a little too much. Still, this is a stunning image; I wish I could claim it as my own.

Kenvin, it is an interesting photo, and I wonder were was it photographed. It looks nearly like the "Burka"women has to hide behind in Afganistan and other countries, but here I see open faces.

 

The composition and light are well done DOF as well.. Seeing them from the back they look like the same replica.... I think the shadowed corners are good as they accentuate the center.

Kevin, for all the reasons above I liked this shot but even more for the fact that the 'ask for the forgiveness' is not the first thing you see in the picture. You need to look closer and then slowly it dawns on you there is something else going on. Nicely done!

This is stunning. I love the repetition and the emotion. Forgive me for being nieve, but what is the symbol that some of the women have embroidered on their robes? I see it three times.
