They say am pure.Such Slashing irony that welts my soul. The warmth of the sun fondling my skin, feel of my hair swaying with the wind,a lover's flirting turning me pink..can I not ever realize these sublime whims?
Veiled, curbed and throttled by barriers of sins.They name it holy. They call it norms. Mores, customs, traditions..so on and so forth.
Buried deep within peeps out Life at times, drops of burning desire, slap of the social satire teasing me and testing me, beckoning me to smell what feels like free air. Lord Could I ever....? __________________
I dont mean to make a loud socio-cultural comment here. All of us, but do, face a phase where life might seem a bit unfair. Be it the binding rules that mould into a social stigma, or some injustice shaping into a way-of-living with endless practice. The agony of any suppressed soul is beyond my power of expression. ______________

The expression is indescribable. Reminds me of a picture I saw of an afghan girl. This picture is one of the best ones till now.

@{H} creatives: is it..? Thanks a tonne:)
I don't know whether to praise your picture more or your words. I think if picture speaks by itself then words just add a little more than that. A really thoughtful shot with great lighting to express the right nuances and I like the fact that you have focussed on her eyes which speaks for itself.

@Ricky: i kno...just that i wanted to interpret my thoughts when i look at the pic. there can be many other interpretaions. i actually, kept evaluating whether my viewpoints are any near to the feelings of any woman who is unfortunately expected to behave in a particular manner in the society, hence curbing her true essence. Lighting-well..thanks to the lovely sun rays that adorn ma balcony right from the break of the dawn:)
Thanks a tonne:)
Im really enjoying all ur portrait shots. Keep it up. Just a question , how come u applied green in this image? Im not saying its wrong but i would prefer it to be in black and white and with some vignette as well, Just my opinion if u dont mind. Take care! :)

@Levine: Glad to know you have been following my updates.
umm..lemme see. I first shot her manually adjusting my camera to the green tint option and abs loved it. This is one of those rare pics where any..any tone went fantastically well. somehow I stuck to this tone. B/W woud look great actually:) thanku so much for the suggestion.really appreciate tht:)
u are getting better day by day.... interesting shot...

@sangram: thx sangram. tht surely encourages me..:)
I always somehow refrain from putting green tinges whenever I do some adjustments, you would have noticed it anyway :P . Its like never dared to try. This shot however comes out so well in green :)

@ConvexClix: haan..in this case it already was in green. all I ve done is played wid the contrast slightly. I reely love this tone sumhow..actually I luv any hue..cyan blue yellow or..whteva goes well with the essence of the image
