Beautiful portrait. While her face may be painted, her eyes are just so expressive.

Good one mate!

Holi is the festival of colours and you were able to bring it to the picture, but its a festival of fun and happiness too, just because she looks a bit confused,not able to feel the happiness.
But as a portrait, it stands TOP.

Hi Daniel,
I enjoyed going thru ur blog in the morning ,by evening I happen to browse the below book.
Just wanted to compare this photo with a picture on the Jacket of ” The Maximum city:Bombay lost and found” These two are so similar yet different feelings.

March 23, 2009 at 8:24 am
The Eyes Tell All! Great Shoot!
March 24, 2009 at 5:22 am
That’s a great portrait. Her eyes show her life’s story, there is so much expression.
March 24, 2009 at 5:17 pm
I like the contrast behind the pink powder and the strong stare…almost a glare.
March 26, 2009 at 9:32 pm
Very well done. Really very well done. Really like this shot. Great composition, and mood. Great portrait.
March 28, 2009 at 2:07 pm
Lovely shot… something about the picture that makes it stand out from the ordinary. That reddish color just pops on the monochromatic background, and the composition works great.
March 31, 2009 at 1:49 am
The uncurrent red makes the eyes pop up, superb.
April 11, 2009 at 7:42 pm
stunning portrait….kudos!
May 5, 2009 at 1:37 am
I love the focus on the eyes and the colour. Looking at the other photos you have a great eye for the small details that make great art.

March 15, 2010 at 10:54 am
wonder why he looks irritated
March 16, 2010 at 11:02 am
the eyes…haunting!
June 10, 2010 at 9:59 pm
The red makes her gaze more heartbraking, good (photographic) idea
