Black-And-White Photo Competition 4 2013 : Entry Number 415

Lovely capture of alovely subject, made a little more exotic and interesting than it would have been in any other location. Good idea well performed.

Thank you for giving my photo a “Mark of Excellence” recognition. I am Adolfo Villegas Jr., a photography hobbyist. This photo was taken here in Doha Qatar, a Middle Eastern country, where skies are always clear and almost always with a scorching sunlight. The idea was to cover the model with a patterned drape and let the patterned shadows creep in. Behind the subject was the clear sky and a little bit to the right was the sun; at camera left was a reflector. Shot with a Leica M9P with 50mm Summicron Rigid Version II. Thanks. Adolf
