Thanks a lot for that, Saad!
One who says that to others has hit the score much better himself.
Cheers!

The more "ideal" it gets the best it is suited to be sought and found, Saad. Even if we know that we will never reach it, the way to it is worth going.
And most of the time... I miss it! ;-)
Cheers!

this would be fair for your self,and for those you are dealing with,this should be the normal behavior of all normal people,but some people will consider it too ideal,

what a relief dear Aziz,I thought I have done something unfamiliar to you,
and as you wish,your wish is my command Aziz,
Here, some people get angry if you call them by their mere name ,they know that kunia, is a better way of addressing people,so they loved to be called by their kunia,
About visiting Iran,the time ,and the condition is not appropriate now,it is all because the local condition,in Iraq,I am looking forward for visiting all my neighboring countries,and more than that,with passion,
it is not difficult to visit Iran for any Iraqi,but the difficulty comes after the visit,
my best wishes,and regards,
Saad.

Sigh! I try to be that, Saad. It can get hard, since I must always consciously separate between my personal liking and more objective criteria. So, many times there will be images that I personally don't like. And many others that I personally like. Still I have to always take time for detaching from myself, and saying that they are well done when they are well done, and that they are not well done when they are not well done.
It is two different things to like something or to admit that it is well done. I don't like jazz music so much, but still I must accept when it is well done inside its own domain. That is, I must watch out to not raise my personal liking to some kind of "absolute" measure.
For staying human, that is...
Cheers!
Nick

Hi Abu Aslam !
I'd asked the question because I had forgotten your "KONYA" .
As you can see under my note in our country we also have the same " baba Mahmood ".
But I prefer frankly climate rather than these adjectives ! or KONYAs ! . I am proud of being your friend Abu Suaod !
About visiting Iran, we'd better to arrange with eachother and find the best time to visit few selection of thousands of beauties of nature and history of Iran.
Different seasons, and different places of Iran have their own beauty.
In this season, Tehran is going to start its winter. Mountains are snowy and white and AMAZING. North west has started the winter earlier.
Southern part is like a spring ! ..
Besides of the climate , we should arrange to have enough free time and my presence in Iran.
I'm sure it's not difficult for you to travel to Iran. And it's very safe here.
Later on we can arrange by phone !
Be well.

dear Aziz,this is called in Arabic كنيه and when you respect some one more than the others you don't call him by his frank name but by كنيه exactly as we respect Imam Ali ,we don't call him by his name ,we call him Abo Al Hassan,
so I am sorry if I have done something wrong,I thought you have the same habit and custom in Iran,
just tell me the name that you like most ,and I will call you by that ,
Saad.

Oh, but I don't get tired looking at this excellent portrait! Very very nice definition of her face. A bit of overexposure on her dress, but for taking the face as perfectly this is not a big proce to pay. Such rich details, especially on the backlit hair, and such a soft but well defined plasticity of her character!!
The background provides a good contrast for your protagonist, Saad! We see that not only a narrow DoF can be good for a portrait if the background is fotting well.
Very very nice work for its subtle light balance too!

Tired, yes, but a certain energy, curiosity to the man with the camera keeps her interest, I think she has seen the wise man from the east.

excellent Saad, I'd try this in pure BW or even toned, feel that the greens behind are a tad distracting but overall an excellent capture and very poignant indeed
