i just love this shot, richard!! far better this one than the crop. the circle the hood makes draws the viewer into the beautiful, partially obscured face. along those same lines (!), the white hood works well in conjunction with the covered wrists and delicate hands to bring you into an almost private intimate moment with a mysterious woman (shy & demure? sexy & alluring? is there invitation there? or maybe a hint of reticence? my, how the mind wanders!!??) no ring would have created more mystery but i can imagine some lucky guy would want the world to know she's off the market!! ;-) good shooting!
