My girlfriend said that this picture looks terrifying. I think it has some strange atmosphere. But that is good because it caught my eye and pushed me to write this few words.

Great shot, Javid! I love all the women in the background covering their faces hurriedly - they don't look happy to be photographed! Great POV and fantastic contrast of colours.
Great work

Hello Javid, this is very well seen, an exceptional capture where the child stands out from the crowd as a bright island in an ocean of black. I like the balance and the role in composition played by the hands of the women in the background, who close the image in a perfect way.

Trully fantastic shot. Excellent portrait of currios kid surrounded by horrified woman.
Peacefull green against frightening black. Kid's innocence against religous beliefs of womens.
Excellent composition with great clarity and stunning colours.
Go to my favourites

Brilliant shot, Javid, as usual there's something thoughtful and metaphorical inside your images.. Beside the strong color contrast, I love the way the women in the back are all covering up.

Although I'm not sure I'd take the meaning of this one like it was understood by Darko or Gal... perhaps the other way around.

This is top notch photography, Javid, some of the women covering themselves..some not. The disposition of the all-important women in the frame reminds me of a cartier-Bresson shot at a Kabuki funeral in Japan. The whole thing tied by that green girl in the center.
Powerful, supremely confident work.
Cheers,
Francis

Hi Javid!

Truly an amazing shot with power.

The outstanding green makes the girl's face so unique against the dark-coloured women in the back.

Maybe a little bit blurred but that doesn't matter here

Whoa. Very powerful. The faces seem to melt into the blackness around them. Really great.

Yes I like it... due to the contrasts in this picture: young and old, green and black, curious open look and covered faces of other women...

By the way: why are almost all these women covering their faces just now? Is it because they saw you taking them pictures?

Hi Javid, this is a photograph worthy of Magnum or any of the great agencies. Not only is the little girl distinct in her green clothing, her expression is one of intrigue and amazement while all of the women show suspicion and fear. Such a powerful image, beautifully captured. Many congratulations. Stephen

What a simply amazing picture!
I love how you have composed it, keeping each woman's face almost whole and making it all so very black beyond the little girl. The composition is really spot on. Interestingly enough the picture is not completely clear but that doesn't bother me at all...
However, there is that woman right next to the little girl that is almost smiling at us. It is a strange rift in the whole. The other women seem so sad and then this one seeming almost joyful gives the whole a slight sense of set-up. After spending a little time watching the image one starts to wonder why the two women in the back cover their mouthes... are they smiling as well? It is an intriguing shot with truly intriguing people! I really adore it! TFS such a powerful image and moment!

Hello Javid, you've got some amazing people photography in your your portfolio. This picture really stands out for its wonderful composition and amazing moment.

the child as a center, this idea is perfectly supported by the other women. Great ! Like a black blossom.

Hello Javid
Je viens de découvrir ta galerie et tout dabord te remercie sincèrement de nous faire partager ainsi la vie de ton pays, ces coutumes, ces religions etc...Je sais que c'est un beau pays...mais toi, tu as ce don de nous le faire partager par tes photos et si j'ai choisi celle ci, c'est pour le regard de l'enfant en contradiction avec ceux de ses femmes qui semblent vraiment contrariées !
TOUTES TES PHOTOS, sans exception, sont à couper le souffle
BRAVO !!!!
Josy
Hello Javid I have just discovered your gallery and all dabord sincerely thanks you for making us thus share the life of your country, these habits, these religions etc... I know that it is a beautiful country... but you, you have this gift to make us divide it by your photographs and if I chose that Ci, it is for the glance of the child in contradiction with those of his wives who seem really opposed! ALL YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS, without exception, are to be cut the breath CHEER!!!! Josy
