don't you remember an old National Geographic picture of a young Afghan woman with green eyes ? She was a refugee of the war against the Soviet Union at the time .... (if my memory is good )

They all resemble eacother alot. I am guessing siblings! :) The blue eyes sure are gorgeous. I have always found something very exotic and beautiful about dark hair in contrast with light blue or green eyes!
Anyway, that does not have anything to do with the fact.. that regardless-it is a great portrait of young children who seem to enjoy your taking their picture! :)

@Tamara: Yes, almost certainly related - they all lived just 50 yards up the road! Many thanks for your comment!

Such a gorgeous shot... I love this one... like Namaki (above) said how it reminds her of that girl on the National Geographic magazine cover with the green eyes... as soon as I saw this girl... that is who it reminded me of...
