Love that expression of confidence and satisfaction on the third one.
Edit: You added another set while I was typing....

The youth in the first one of the second set is great. Like the lighting, and how the other kids stack behind him.
Is the third from something set up for Ramadan? Hopefully you are having a meaningful time. Sorry, I should know what a more appropriate wish is.

Thanks a lot Andrew, for kind words and wishes for Ramadan.

In 1st photo of 2nd set, kid was interested to be alone in picture, but his friends never wanted so and teased him by posing behind

Yes it was setup for some religious program, kids were everywhere.

I hope you could read Urdu language and Pakistani politics. Then you would have said 2nd in 2nd set is best.

Actually The word in background says "Nehari" that is quite heavy dish (full of fats). Ex-President Nawaz Sharif was known for his Nehari eating habbits. F16 jet use to take his Nehari breakfast from one city to other.

Well the aero is pointing towards a shop, but guess whose advertising poster is hanging next to it ?:D

Don't think Urdu will make it to the top of my pile for a while, though certainly as a text, it is one of the most beautiful languages out there. So the one fellow (upper right) is Sharif, correct?

Hey, yes he is Sharif, on left side is his bro. Urdu is combination of so many languages like Arabic, Hindi, Persion. Iqbal was one of the greatest poets of Persion and Urdu language check my sig. But translation to other languge cannot deliver accurate meanings, same is case with Arabic.

A linguist friend likes to say that translation is a two-edged sword. On one hand, one can never fully appreciate the original through translation, but without it too much great writing is not accessible at all. Thanks for the link.

Very nice, Awais - I particularly like the second bicycle shot, and the first image in the second group - the boys in black and white. That one is very strong - nice and close, well composed. Nice!

What he said ^

Very nice work Awais with some great subjects

#1 in the second set is excellent! I like how you've lowered yourself to take the shot across the group at their eye-level. It really helps elevate them as young men and draws me into their faces.
