Hi Humayun,
What a powerful photo, I love the unframed side of the photo it looks like she is about to step 'out of the box' so you have conveyed your message well.
Very well done indeed!

This is a very good image and way to teach .
We seem to forget how lucky we are just to have simple freedoms, at least I know I do here in America.
I have had the freedom and encouragement to become anything in the world I wanted and the support of my family to do it.... nothing like women in Pakistan.
By showing this picture and explaining the way You have I beleive this is the begining of 'change' and a more healthy , positive future for this young woman and all others in this country. I applaud your work and your writing.
Best wishes to You my friend,
Michele Carlsen~

Very strong image of this attractive looking Women. Her look is one of vision in which she will hopefully see positive changes in the way she is treated and others of her gender. Changes only happen with people like yourself who expose the way things are...Brian

I think that you did a splendid job of capturing the dream that she dreams. The incomplete framing leaves the path to freedom accessible. Good work. :) Andree

Great concept and well written commentry. The problems and issues are real and it is thoughts that can raise the consciousness and then be acted upon by self as well as many who have been enlightened by that thought. Pictorially... Her looking away - out of the frame is the most interesting aspect. Quality can improve with PS. I would suggest reshoot the concept with a more controlled surrounding and make an artwork of it. Its worth the thought. Sabz

what a dramatic portrait Humayun.. great job i really like the cropping and the composition...
and the about is really quite moving..it is tragic to think that in this modern times that a woman would be treated so... as a man reading this it is extremely frustrating, but as a woman it must be intolerable... i am sadend by this reality.. i can only hope that someday there really will be equality for all people....
thank you for posting this iamge and for bringing this perspective to light... thank you also for commenting on my egg photo...

I like the way the foreground blends with the background; it balances the photograph nicely. An image like this could easily become too lopsided, but you have just about managed to achieve a sense of equilibrium ? well done :)

Felled priced me the formation of the picture. The contrast of brightly and darkly, the woman in the Sari and the background in that it probably live could. Everything is harmonious together-joined. Sincerely Gerhard

This is an absolutely wonderful portrait, illustrating this beautiful young womans attempt to break away from this horrible tradition that she's been forced to live within. I can't even imagine what it must be like, and to have courage at all in the face of such deprivation is in itself a triumph. For me the red is a symbol of her boldness, and a statement of her beautiful spirit fighting to be free. I really like what you did with the frame as well. Change has to have roots and I believe that you planted the seeds with your image and your words. Thank you for sharing this wonderful image, and sad but necessary story with us...:):)Linda

I noticed this photo when I first opened your portfolio, but was led astray by your "Grand entrance."
I read the "about" with great interest. It showed me that you were not merely a "doctor" but also a socially minded person, who wants to correct social inequality and injustice and I fully support you in that.
I think it was a great photographic idea to leave the left part of the frame of your photo open. Symbolically (Please forgive me if my spelling is incorrect) it shows what you want to achieve for wmomen, an open future.
The woman is very beautiful and as you say in your "about", you managed to capture the determination expressed by her eyes and her upright posture.
I look forward to receiving your e mail and to your reactions after reading the first few chapters of the book. Please note that your inbox has to be capable of receiving 1.02 MB. Otherwise, I'll copy the book on a CD and send it to you. In that case I'll need your mailing address, but you'll still be my guest as to mailing cost.
Best regards,
Rafi

Dear George,
THANKS for the tip. I was not familiar with that technique.. not an expert at PS. I'll defintely keep this in mind next time. I'm sure it'll save me a lot of time too.
This is what I love about this site.. where wonderful artists like you not only comment, praise or critique.. but also give useful suggestions for improvement.
Hope to learn more from you :-)
Thanks and Best regards
Humayun

This is a wonderful portrait of a beautiful woman and excellent commentary. The open frame on the left is eloquent and effective.
Following Saqib's suggestion, I recommend also the File>Save for Web technique. If you are unfamiliar with it, choose the Image Size once the image opens; I then put 800 in the larger dimension and then choose Apply. The Quality percentile slider choice shows the file size on the lower left of the image. When you get it to the size required (< 360), choose save with a new name, and it's done--a jpeg that's just right.
Forgive this long explanation, but this technique has saved me much time and frustration.
Best regards,
--george

Excellent, Humayun-- your portrait of this young woman is very good. It fits your commentary very well-- she is turning her back on that that is traditionally required of her. Since the objects behind her are so small, they are a bit difficult to see what they are. Perhaps if there were other women in the photo using the utensils it would be a little more clear.
Social change is never easy, and depicting the need for it in art is hard, but you've done a good job with it here. Thank you for doing so.

Thanks Saqib, I agree the quality is not that good. Actually it was taken from quite a distance and I cropped the major portion in front of her. but for me it's the theme thats more important and if It's "visible" then I'm satified. No.. I don't save it as web in photoshop.. but as JPG. Any more suggetions from you would be more than welcome as I believe in learning all the time. Thanks once again

A strong message and a strong idea. I know and love Pakistan but the problems you highlight are very real and very serious. I appreciate your enlightened approach and would encourage you to pursue this through more images. In this sort of situation, I believe that any publicity is good publicity.
Many thanks for your kind comment on my Moroccan cats...

Very though provoking Rizwan and you conveyed your concept quite effectively with this shot. Its high time we put an end to this implicit slavery.
Technically, I only wished that the shot had better digital quality. Do you save as web in photoshop? By the way I find it interesting that the direction she is looking at does not have a frame border. :) Well done.
Best Wishes,
Saqib
