This is the sister of a friend. She is in a local historical group. Clothes are selfmade.
I used a flash against an silver sprayed umbrella on the left side of her. A white bouncing wall on the right.
I don't like the backdrop, but no editing is allowed.
Editing was: croped, auto contrast, gradient curves, color saturation, neat image and making borders.

Lovely portrait - the veil covering (but not quite) the subject's face really work. Minor point - the backdrop seems to clash with the wonderful tones of the scarf and shirt (orange is a tough color to match) The black part of the frame could be a bit thinner as it competes with the subject vs. compliemnt.

Nice photo of the woman, but next time try for a background that isn't creased. Those little details do make a difference.

Very nice picture. Nice model with beautiful eyes. I'm not sure about the yellow background and the folds in the background tissue are disturbing. -7

Nice vale and conceptual use of vale. Like the expression as well. Maybe not intentional (also part of the draw) but the left hand suggests a becon. What I don't like is the background cloth. The hard creases are a real disappointment. The soft waves in the cloth are nice but then you notice the creases.

You are lucky to have some to co-operate in these (forgive me) slightly dopey pictures. This one looks good fun..

I feel a closer crop could improve this, still a very good shot.

Your picture is really nice, beautiful color, well composed and great focus. I think if you would have ironed the drape used in the background it would have made it better. For some reason when I look at it my eye realy notices the wrinkles in the drape.

nice idea and lighting, but my dream would require ironing the background sheet and tidier hair on the model (if you are going to set things up, go all the way ...)

I think this would have been more effective with more of a close up. That way you wouldn't get as many of the wrinkles in the back ground as well. I would have cropped the left side just past her hand, and up from the bottom to where the trim is on the neckline. Still I think it's a nice shot for this challenge.

This doesn't feel Arabian. She needs more make-up and more jewels! Sparkles!!!
The backdrop needs pressing and the light is far to bright. It's not a bad entry, please know I'm not slamming your shot, just my opinion and thoughts.

Nicely done and a perfect match for the challenge. The model has the most beautiful eyes.
