Thousand faces, a photo from Khorasan-e Janubi, East

Photographer's Note

It is really a huge surprise for me to see a lot of people live in this extremely dry environment. A lot of school-age kids too! I hope they have school for the kids here.
Since I do not speak Parsian language, so I cannot get more information on people live in this dessert village to share with you, my dearest TE friends�

Well, at least we can share some happy faces�.

Note: I apply fuzzy border to avoid cutting some faces in half.

Hi Benyamin,
I wonder what the children are looking at - must be quite engaging since nobody is looking directly at the camera. A pleasing composition with good colors and sharpness. Best wishes.

Excellent photo of all those happy kids. They were not interested at all on your camera. Very well captured.

Hi Benyamin! I appreciate the idea of using the soft edges, it is always horrible to have to cut heads in half. This is a very pleasing photo of a crowd of children, all smiling and without knowledge of your camera. Good clarity and naturalistic colours. A pity about this one girl right in the front who is not smiling, but you can't have everything! Lovely image, well done.
Regards,
Andrew

if you have seen any of my shots you know that I am a people person and there is nothign I like more than a crowd not looking at the camera so I can study their faces. The girl in the middle in pink with the white scarf stands out for me, she has obviosuly seen soemthign the others havent, yet. Nice compo.

This is a superb pic that holds one's attention for a long time. So many different expressions to examine. Love the way you have also filled the frame. Great work!
Best wishes

Hi Benyamin
Great to see all the kids smiling at something. The expressions on their face is beautiful and I cannot help but notice the girl in the pink scarf...she has a different expression & she's the one you did an earlier shot on, right?
Beautiful composition
Regards
Angshu

This is a really superb crowd shot Benyamin, and you've captured some great expressions on the faces of the children.
I like how in this busy scene, not one of them is looking directly at the camera. What were they were looking at?
Great work.
Ben

Hi Ben, I always like crowd shots and this is a very engaging one. The children all have wonderful expessions and I like the fact that they're turned away from the camera and you've hidden the object of their fascination. On my screen (which is unreliable) there's a slight blueish/grey cast to the photo but it's a small point in an overall appealing shot.

Hi, Ben! Nice and happy faces, in a very good composition (just people!). I love iranian movies and many of them show life in desert regions, a hard work to survive! TFS! Nice Sunday! Miguel.

Hi Benyamin
This is an impressive capture of these faces and full of joy as well. The dry environment must be hard to live in but the expression on the faces seem happy nonetheless. Great, tight cropping and nice exposure. Great capture.

Hello Benyamin.
Food for a thousand viewings. All of the beautiful faces (and expressions) are wonderfully captured. Nice muted colors with the purple headress of the smiling girl near the top standing out. I wonder what they are so happy to see? Good framing and I like the idea to blur so as not to cut faces in half.
Regards,
Chris.
:) out today, be back.

Hi Benyamin;
Those faces shot a lot of happiness. Maybe they live in a dry place but sure they have small things to make their live worth living. I love the curiosity some faces show. Great shot and thanks for sharing

Ol� Benyamin
Quantos olhares...quantos sorrisos...express髊s fortes, doces, curiosas, atentas, felizes...
Parab幯s Benyamin, 鏒imo registro.
Grande abra蔞,
Vera.

Wonderful capture. Beautiful and sincere smiles on those childern's faces. Very nice composition. I like that one boy stands out because he is taller and his smile is so big. TFS.
