I like this type of portraits Nour.
The look in her eyes and the unruly hair are wonderful.
I like the texture of the mountain in the background too.
Good work Nour,

wonderful the grey tones create stong unity between the girl and her ambient ,regards


Alison DuFlon   {K:36557} 2/9/2005
Great perspective, this photo has a lot of depth to it. I love the harsh light and disheveled look of the young girl. Her hair has created some beautiful shadows on her face. Alison


amr alim   {K:2767} 2/9/2005

Excellent capture Nour and great composition, i like the rocky background, it reflects in a nice way on that little girl's face, specially on her dry lips, you added as well the final touch by converting this photo to B&W, can't be any better, Very well done and keep up the good work, Salam my friend,

Gord Runtz   {K:3248} 2/18/2005
Very nice portrait Nour!
Well done!
I thought that mountain range in the background looked familiar. I spent 6 months in Egypt many years ago and spent lots of time in Sharm El Sheikh!! Beautiful area!
Here is a photo I took (maybe in the same area as your photo)
All the best to you!

Gord



Nour El Refai   {K:12631} 2/18/2005
Ohh, that's amazing Gord, i hope you enjoyed your time in Sharm el Sheikh, thanks for your comment


Gord Runtz   {K:3248} 2/18/2005
Nour,
I should have sharpened it up a bit for you.
Sorry.
Here is the same shot, but sharpened up for you.

All the best

Gord

Very nice, especially her expression,
I like also the light and perspective!!
Well done!


Evelyn Mayes   {K:8132} 6/3/2005
This is a very strong image, I think. Her expression is tough for harsh environment. Determined. Super portrait of a young life lived between rock and sand. I love the details -- hair shadows across her cheek and still there is a light in her eyes. Terrific pic!
Thanks for commenting on my pic, Scrolling Open -- much appreciated!


AAT SA   {K:4565} 7/10/2005
