Yes I agree. But in fact there is a grace and beauty in this garment - its just what we know about, or hear about, its use as an instrument of social control, that takes that away. So its I guess about the statement you want to make. The black and white photo makes one statement, and the blue of the colour pic makes quite another.

Hi @nurse_ouch. It is cropped - I took it out the front windscreen of our moving car and had to crop out a truck on the right.

I agree that Burkas do have beauty and grace. I've noticed that in a majority of photos, burkas are blue. I wonder why...
