Using Light + DOF to create mystery, right?

[Eyad]

Hi All,

I've tried in this picture to draw attention to the necklace worn by this lady as I found it really beautiful.

How is my shot? I thought that the hair covering the face + partial light + DOF + PP Filter gives mystery about the owner and draws attention to the necklace..

Do you think this is the case for you? Or do you recommend another approach?

Hi an interesting shot, but did you find the necklace interesting due to the colours? as if you did it has been lost in Black and White.

Good point, but I found the B&W gives better mood...hmmm.
