It's not really too pretty of an image, IMO....

Interesting shot considering this location is in beautiful south Florida with lush palms and blue skies that are completely desaturated by extreme weather conditions.

I'm a bit lost on how it's an ideology (probably a lack of general cultural knowlege on my part), but it's a great photo and very nice lighting. well done

Thank you James. Before i setup this photo i made some research on google and there are some studies that they made about 'purdah'. What i know base from what i've read it is not a dress of culture like we all know... It has it's own significant reason and that's what made the ideology of wearing it. I don't know...just like Kid Rock said 'Only god knows why..'

While wearing the veil is not, in and of itself, an ideology - this shot does demonstrate behavior based on that set of beliefs. I think it's on theme, and a very nice shot to boot. Good job

very nice ! should be also added at the 'out of the dark' contest author. GL

Congrats for your third place, maclu2iaf!
