Now that is a beautiful image. The lighting is superb. I don't know what you have on the right, but you might consider cloning that out. It looks like an out of focus person with hat on.

Wonderful photo! I don't have anything else to say

Indeed, a wonderful job. Lighting, balance, contrast, etc.

Would love to see a larger version of it.

A most excellent image.

I would have exposed for slightly more detail in the shadow but that's a minor quibble.

A beautyful photo indeed!

Just out of curiosity, can you (is it allowed to) actually take a camera into a mosque?

**Sailor** · 04-29-2009, 05:03 AM

Terrific. You are a master of this kind of photography.

Well done - you have a talent to capture the subtle emotions in your portraits. Well done.

AlexanderMayorov · 04-29-2009, 07:29 AM

Thanks a lot for your comments.
Yes you can take camera with you and take some photos there. I took this photo before Friday Pray.

Fragla, thank you for posting this superb photograph.

Incredible shot.

Beautiful picture. I would also clone out the area on the right as it is a bit distracting and moves the eye away from the face. That said, this is a great portrait. Does the subject like it?

Bactman · 04-30-2009, 05:29 AM

Very well done!

Great image and really good composition!

I agree about the white area on the right. You can burn it down a little to put the emphasis back on the eye. Also, if you could dodge the right ear just enough to seperate it from the hat, I think it would look even better.
