Nana, As with all of your posted photos the technical details are superb...lighting, contrast, etc.
As far as the hidden face goes, were you trying to convey to the viewer poverty or man/woman equality issues or themes? My initial reaction is that this is an empoverished woman or one who feels unempowered. The way her face is lowered,turns away from the camera and is hidden by her hair (hiding), along with the simple white towel are the key features.
If this is your desired effect, maybe a linen cloth or some other more primitive type of cloth could reinforce this theme, as opposed to the more advanced terry cloth.
Could you share with us how you created this photo? I am particuarly interested in how you created the dark burn-in around the edges of the frame. (was it done in photoshop or the darkroom?)
