  • ZhuPix, He always was on my cadre too, blocking the girl's face. But at last he got tired of me and I got rid of him.
    I think his eyes are saying:
    "Okay, do what you want! You got me tired, what else should I do?" ;)
  • lovely face and beautiful shot - Kaveh H.
  • In the large size display (769x1024) on my screen, accidentally I got to see mostly the square middle part, sans the man below and the boy behind... zeroing in on her face and eyes, with all the distractions and "interference" cut out, if you will. A BEFORE and AFTER look, so to speak! - Nima Shafaieh

--------------
A girl in Abyaneh, an ancient village of Isfahan province near Kashan, Iran.

I don't know who are the boy and the man, but they operated as patrols or bodyguards for not shooting photographs of the girl.

First, I didn't want to shoot her, because I thought it's her right that don't want anyone to shoot her portrait. But after she twinkled on me, I found that this prohibition is not from herself, but from the men, specially the elder one. I think he can be her husband, father or brother!
I took this from about 20 to 25 meters far from the window, with about 10x zoom, but yet the man tried his best not to allowing me shoot her. He even walked over me and stood in front of me for seconds. But I sit down and wait and wait and wait for this shot, and took it ;)

    Person to person... I love seeing the photos of you and your friends in Iran. What a shame that governments get in the way of the natural good will that deserves to be spread out to all people of every place, faith and heritage. My wife and I have just participated in the National Geographic Genome Project. No surprise, we both have ancestors from your part of the world. Hello cousin.
