Hi James,
This is one of the best pictures I have seen on TE that has largely gone unappreciated. Great mood, Great colours and what a place! I am really impressed.

Hi James!
A very good and interesting composition! Just excellent for the aim of TE. It's a bit pitty for the short note. Your image (along with some more information in the note) can teach us a lot about the customs and the daily life of these people.
I like very much the framing and the tones of the picture!
Thank you for sharing!
And all my appreciation for your work with NGO!

very lively and colourful shot. also presence of an over all warm tone goes well with the mood of the pic. many thanks for sharing such a good pic.

regards,
arjun

Beautiful image, James
I love the colours and the composition and the general atmosphere. It's surely an underrated image...

Incredible photograph! hard to think this scene is real in this modern world. It looks more like one taken from a historical movie.
Great capture, magnificent colours, original scene. You were lucky to witness it: Some kind of reward for your hard work with the NGO's I suppose.
Nice to see the faces of Afghan women as well, when they so often have to hide them.
Congratulations for the photos and the work!
Marie Louise.
