With all due respect, photography is about how we respond to appearances.  
If the hajib means nothing to the viewer, then it shouldn't matter whether 
the woman is wearing it or not.  And if the hajib means nothing, we have no 
prejudices regarding the wearer.  That B.D. considers the photo stronger 
because the woman is wearing the hajib reveals something about B.D. (and the 
rest of us who responded similarly).
