Indeed a peaceful posture and a wonderful candid capture. image is too red and a tad dark. I took the liberty to download the large thumbnail and do a quick white point balance, levels, shadows-highlights and contrast balance to yield this image. Again it is all a subjective POV but let me know what you think…

Thanks for sharing with the Art of the Middle East group.

Am a total novice and am always seeking advice! The room was very dark and I was only using my small fuji digicam! Want to learn how to really understand more about phoyography – so all tips really greatefully received!

I’m glad I looked at the larger version rotfl…I thought, from the thumbnail, that you had outfoxed the world’s media and obtained an exclusive photo of Osama Bin Laden!! This shot, once I look at the larger version, is very good. Very calming and tranquil.

BTW…I started out, about 8 years ago, with a small 1.3 megapixel Fuji point and shoot!

John, – only wish – could have made a fortune – however, thanks for your encouragement. He was such a man of character – and had a wonderful smile.

Wonderful shot Deborah ! Omani people are the most peaceful and kind I ever met in the Middle East !

Thank you Helene – I agree – travelling on my own in Oman was a pleasure – people so wonderful. Just loved it.x

Congratulations, well done!

Thanks so much – am so dellighted
