Really Great shot dear Ali.
the seeing and the shadow of her eyes make the shot more impressive.

hi ali,
i like this work - there is a certain dose of "unrest" in this image, much enough to make me feel "shivering" and little enough to be able to admire the scene;
cannot tell what it exactly is, though;
like this work a lot;
best wishes, j.

Like Jerzy (bantonbuju) I also see something that holds me in this shot - I was just reading last night about the range of different ethnic groups in Iran - like many people - ordinary people the world over - the inabilities of governments to resolve international disputes is deeply concerning - we have to know and value each other as people and cultures if we are to turn back the ineptitudes of politicians and leaders at maintaining peace and good relations. It's a bold proud photograph of this young man set against the tide of movement behind him - I think persoanlly maybe a closer crop from the top and right might have made for a stronger image photographically but there is still something powerful and 'raw' in this image for me.

best wishes Kev

I totally agree with Kev in his opinion about cultures and people...
I love your portrait, I find great your choice of leving it on the left, filling the rest of the pic with the blured flow of people. Maybe a bit of croping on the top would be good.
