[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
We left the village of Pal-Kotal-e-Guk where we had stayed the night on our way to the Minaret of Jam. The driver had been to a town three hours away to buy a new arm for the suspension and had repaired the minibus. But within a few kilometres we had broken down again! This time it was something to do with the engine.

At least we were in a pretty village with a chaikhana and some curious local people. We were here most of the day before we eventually continued to Jam.

I don't know the name of this tiny place but it wasn't far from where we stayed the previous night. And "Somewhere close to Pal-Kotal-e-Guk" seemed too much to put as a location!

Absolutely beautiful portrait of this young lady.
Nice light makes the colours very vivid and bright.
The Dof is good - the girl is separated from the rest of the picture but the background is also visible well.
There're mountains, some buildings and finally - even small sunflowers are easy to notice!
Very successful photo
Regards
HS

Hi Jonathan,

Hi Jonathan,
Very good compo and great colors. The girl is very sharp too. You've captured her expression very well too. And I think you're very brave to travel to Afghanistan these days.
Take care,

Hello Jonathan. Excellent portrait, althought the light is giving her raccoon eyes... but the vibrant green and orange colors are fantastic and a good placement of her in the frame. well done.

Hi Jonathan, A nice shot of the village girl with colorful outfit and humble expression. Good to include the village in the background. Nice contrast out from the strong sunlight. A very well taken portrait.

She is wearing a shirt not ment for girls but it is for years to come as I can see the JAIB pocket filled with DISTNMAAL handkerchief and the PALATE on her arms as she grows the shirt could be lenthen more by opening the plate but her face is very clean and shiny as in this remote area they don't have HAMMAAM the contrast of colours in headband and her cloth, nice done..

Hi Jonathan,
Does she know she's a very beautiful and photogenic young girl? She could be a model...
At least you seemed to had a very nice time, while waiting for the minibus to be fixed. How lucky of you they liked beeing photographed.
This portrait is excellent, as usual with wonderful sharpness and lighting. Very good colours of her clothes and it's nice to see the landscape in the background.
Thanks a lot for sharing your adventure with us. I loved your note and photo in ws!
Have a nice evening,
Ricardo

Good portrait Jonathan
The girl seems to be very relaxed at posing. The placing of the girl to the right of the composition enhances the picture. The shadows around the eyes are noticeable, but some fill-in flash takes care of these situations. The colours and sharpness are great and the overall look and feel is pleasing.
Cheers
Aubrey

Hej Jonathan,
A very good capture of this girl here. The colours of her cloths are very good in the quite grey landscape. The DOF is also good, great work!

She looks cool, as her friends... The colors are strong, the dof and focus OK. Well composed, as usual.
Afghanistan inspires you.

Hi Jonathan.
Nice portrait. As your others photos from Afghanistan, very interesting see a learn something about this country, so different for many of us.

Thanks for share.

I love this portrait. I think the colours the little girl is wearing help this picture a lot. they are perfect. the light is also very nice.

Hi Jonathan,

Nice portrait of this girl. I like the strong colours of her dress - good contrast to the beautiful background.

:) Tina

Excellent composition, sharpness and lighting.
