The first (3 of 8) is a very interesting idea. For me maybe the unflattering angle (the prominence of Nargess' nostril) is a little distracting. The fingers add a lot of mood though. I agree with Didier on the softness on 5 of 8. We are seeing the hair as the sharper element there. I notice that the shot was at a very slow speed though so maybe some element of movement too? The last works best for me. I'd love to see this one with a little more DoF? We all look for that critically sharp closest eye in a shot like this too, I think? Just an opinion of course. For this lighting, I think that you could afford to increase your ISO rating to let you work with a maybe a stop or so smaller and a little faster shutter speeds? Seem to me that you have plenty of lens and sensor quality to work with! I really enjoyed looking. I hope that you share some more pics.

Nice naming tradition in your family. Narges 3 is my favourite. Narges 5, as well as some others, are not 100% properly focused, in my opinion. Did you use a rangefinder camera? When shooting faces close up, try to focus the eye, not the glasses' border, for instance. Didier >Hi, > >This is my first post to the forum.
