Yes !!! a girl's portrait... not quite a woman... I know how much it's difficult to take pictures of them in moslem countries !! Her eyes seem to ask you a question, may be something like, "why do you take picture of me ?"
The girl in this portrait seems to be looking right at ME! I like her fly a way hair, the braids, the colorful clothes, the serious, questioning look on her face, the harshness of life shown on her skin. It is nice to see a woman not dressed in a burka. The background out of focus, yet with enough detail to see stark country and mountains helps tell the story, and is a good foil fer the giirl.
