This image has a brown over tone almost as if it was black and white. It looks as if it was just a regular photo of a girl from a foreign country. As you look deeper you see there are two different sides to the women in the center. One thing that deters from this image is that it is hard to make out the writing in the background and I feel that would make the whole composition more interesting if you could really read the text. Although, the abstract shapes in the foreground and background make up for it.

Showing the woman in the center from two different angles and inverting the colors makes me think that the identity is about how country’s can be so two faced. Every one seems to be very nice and polite on side, but behind closed doors some people act completely different. It has to be a different country because the girl is some sort of bandana, and her hair seems to be styled with some kind of jewelry.

I like the image because it reminds of dream but yet it is very real. Some the aspect displayed in the image are confusing. But it makes for an interesting image and adds to dream like feel through out the image. Even though this was not best image it was the one I was attracted to the most.
