to ban or not to ban; that is the question

this is only for an illustration of an editorial photo. it is neither meant to incite debate nor seek anybody’s opinion. foremost, it is not meant to disrespect and/or offend anyone's culture and/or beliefs.

please limit your comments to the technical and artistic aspects of the photograph. (although understandably you may probably not find any.)

I think it is a great illustration of how much can be read through the eyes. For some reason, it has left me wanting to compare whether it would look significantly different had you used a dark cloth. Certainly you have used the frame within the frame to great effect.

Well done, Vikki. It is amazing how different a person looks when you can only see the eyes. I look and I cannot see you in there. Great photo. You have such beautiful eyes.

P.S. Awesome on black.

Beautifully intense gaze. Windows to the soul.... difficult to avoid political/ religious comment because as a citizen of the United States, founded on freedom of/ from religion, it is distressing to know that the faithful are restricted...

I have never seen your style of picture done in black and white before and I have to confess that I really love it. And that’s my comment on the technical and artistic aspects of the photo which I understandably had no trouble finding ! ❤️

Please may I nick, word for word, your narrative for my get pushed challenge upload???!! Really like that pin point of light in your eyes.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond - go ahead, be my guest. :-) also, the lamp had a very small light that's why the pin point.

I find it looks really different on black. The black contrast and larger image gives the image a different "feel". I seem to like the white background better, but both have a mesmerizing appeal.

I like it. And also the concept. Your eyes tell the tale, and the pinpoint light in the irises is spot-on! Sorry for the late comment! @summerfield

@summerfield very nice Vikki, and nice disclaimer as this is just as you said an editorial theme depiction! I agree with Mike, it does look quite different on black and unlike him I prefer it that way myself :) ;)
