Nice to have you back Matthijs!
So I understand that you had another of your great trips and this time to India.
I am sure you will post some more great shots from your latest adventure...

I find this composition very strong, probably one of the strongest that I have seen you post here at gfx!

Her eyes and that expression of hers is very powerful!

I think this would work fine also in bw!

Thanks for sharing!

Very strong shot, beautiful composition! I don't like the burka but her eyes are indeed amazing. Pure beauty!

Beautiful shot Matthijs. I agree with Patrick.... this is one of the best that you have posted here. Great job.

I think this is a startlingly superb piece.
And a marked contrast in style to your previous posts.
The composition is exceptional – and the split of colours works superbly well.
You have used an interesting technique to bring out the textures and shapes.

Pity you didn't capture her with a less bored/tired look in her eyes.
The contrast's nice and helps the shot a lot, imo, almost makes her look as if she were carved into the wall behind her.

Strong impact shot with cultural background that carries meaning.
Plus: the image itself turned out really well.

So, overall very well done!

great capture.
fascinating eyes.
I wish there was more space on the right, to make her space to walk.

Beautiful Image. A national geographic special I like everything about it and all I would like is a close-up with the eyes.
