Arabian eyes..

hey y'all!
how've you guys been??
well I haven't been able to post anything for a while, been quite busy, this year is extremely busy for me, as I'm in my final school year, and getting ready for university, need to get good grades, working on it, hopefully I'll put enough effort to get to what i want..
i did some photo manipulation on a couple of photos that i shot earlier this year in my free time.. this one was shot at a desert safari, that we went to on a school trip, and there was a section where you could dress up in the local traditional outfits, and take photos if you liked..
i already have the Abaya and Sheilah at home (the woman's traditional clothing) so i wanted to try on the Kandura, Ghutra and 'Egal (the man's traditional clothing), because i really love it, and how they dress in white, i just think its very elegant..
then i messed around with the Ghutra (the scarf piece on my head) and took this shot xD
hope u like this one
PP: did some cropping, black and white red filter, played with color temperature and saturation, adjusted fill light and shadows, and finally some bkg blurring.
i acutally had red eye in this photo, from the strong flash, i could have removed it while editing, but chose not to, i wanted to experiment and see what will happen when i do the red filter..
and the result was that my eyes came out with this effect as you can see...
i think its kinda cool xD

let me know what you think
