كوفية شماغ - shemagh / self portrait december 2007please view on black: [link]
The keffiyeh (Arabic: كوفية, kūfīya; plural: كوفيات, kūfīyāt) is also known as a shemagh or yashmag and is a traditional headdress of Arab men, made of a square of cloth ("scarf"), usually cotton, folded and wrapped in various styles around the head. It is commonly found in arid climate areas to provide protection from direct sun exposure, as well as for occasional use in protecting the mouth and eyes from blown dust and sand.

Great color palette! The blue/grey color lingers throughout the image giving it a nice monochrome feel. It looks more like a painting than a pure photograph. The positon of the hand is delicate and well placed. The eyes look very pensive and full of feeling. The right side of the photo feels a lot heavier than the left because there is a lot more shifted to that side. Overall really nice. Great shot!

If you ever come to Dubai, you could wear the traditional clothing known as "Knadoora" and you can totally pull of being an Arab.

I like it. But it looks like you're giving some sort of greeting with your left hand similar to a salute. I thought left-handed greetings were considered taboo win much of the Arab world.
I will still add it to my favorites for its quality.

I am from Argentina and I don't know so much about Arab's culture.. my hand like this, is only a pose.. it's haven't another meaning ..
I 'm very VERY respectful and I don't want to confuse people.
thanks to let me know your point of view.
