I am surprised that commenters missed the despair. Judging from the hijab, she is a Muslim woman, beautiful to be sure, and is, in many ways, a very second class citizen with little or no chance of breaking out of the mold, even in America. Sorry, political observation.

The photo itself, it wonderful. Great portrait of a stunning lady showing so much going on behind her beautiful eyes.

This is an excelent self portrait. However, you look quite happy. Not in despair at all. The color is great, the focus and clarity are great, and the angle and framing/cropping are great. I just don't see how it falls into the despair category. Otherwise a very nice photo. Good luck in the challenge.

Your self portrait is beautiful! You are very lovely. You seem to be smiling, and I can't find despair in this image.

Very pleasant and pretty. Despair? Great portrait, though
02/28/2003 08:45:16 AM
i really don't see what is desperate about this, sorry...

beautiful lady but she doesn't look in despair. The "times" will not always be the same so you can not expect everyone to relate and react to this photo. It may not represent the same thing to you as to someone else. The topic is despair and I can't give this good photo a high score.

I like you image but i dont think it meets the challenge.

You are very pretty, so what's to despair? Is it because you must cover yourself in such a strict fashion? Please explain, I can still change my vote.

You don't look like you are in Despair. Try making the pic bigger also.

I don't get it!

Technically good picture. Excellent lighting. Cropped off a little of your head. Not seeing a heckof a lot despair, so....4

Despare?

This is a nice portrait shot - well-lit, nice colour, and crisp. Unfortunately, I had to mark you down for not fitting with the theme as far as I can tell.
02/25/2003 11:18:38 AM
Beautiful woman, but how does this represent despair?
02/25/2003 02:12:40 AM
This doesn't match the category subject AT ALL!

With the radiant smile, I doubt many people will 'get' this shot... I do. Great work!

nice photo, but far from dispair

This is a pretty picture and the small smile you have on your face shows no sign of "despair" In fact you look quite happy. I especially like the crop you have here, with the head in the top left hand corner of your image. But it doesn't meet the challenge at all as far as I see.
