I'm a bit lost on how it's an ideology (probably a lack of general cultural knowlege on my part), but it's a great photo and very nice lighting. well done

Thank you James. Before i setup this photo i made some research on google and there are some studies that they made about 'purdah'. What i know base from what i've read it is not a dress of culture like we all know... It has it's own significant reason and that's what made the ideology of wearing it. I don't know...just like Kid Rock said 'Only god knows why..'

While wearing the veil is not, in and of itself, an ideology - this shot does demonstrate behavior based on that set of beliefs. I think it's on theme, and a very nice shot to boot. Good job

very nice ! should be also added at the 'out of the dark' contest author. GL

Congrats for your third place, maclu2iaf!
