@Pavla: Hi Pavla, Afghanistan rocks! I worked on an aid project http://www.bgs.ac.uk/AfghanMinerals/assist.htm . When not working I was taking photographs :-)

Indeed, they do not look too sure! :)
I am glad Pavla asked her question, because I was always wondering the same thing!

@Tamara: ... see reply to Pavla... here is a little something I wrote on the gemstones http://www.bgs.ac.uk/AfghanMinerals/docs/Gemstones_A4.pdf No free samples I'm afraid... I was there for the science :-)

adorable -- yes, a little caution is necessary these days! ;) great shot -- and quite humorous as you usually have such wonderful luck with most of your subjects feeling quite open and candid for the wonderful portraits you take!!

@dj.tigersprout: Hi dj, many thanks for your great comment! I don't think it is 'luck' most people are very open and friendly!

your subjects look like they all trust you to take their pictures... even though they sometimes look shy !

This is delightful. These little people are so extremely expressive! Their apprehensive and shy posture really endears me towards them (which is easy anyways with kids!). What a great shot.

Of course it is an excellent shot Bob, as usual. But when I look at the impoverished conditions, I think, what chances have those kids got.

Curiosity and distrust all the same...and two parts of colors in this picture :the ground and greenery
