    Man... You've outdone yourself! I love 1, 4, 6, 7 and 8. I wonder if 1 would benefit from a crop on the left?

    I've seen and liked your previous shots. These are at the same level or above. Well done. thumb.gif

    Awais,
    You never disappoint. These are really something.

    Awais... you've posted a lot of great images on Dgrin throughout the last few years but I must say, I think this set has several of the best photos I've seen from you. Hell, some of the best I've seen on Dgrin period. 2, 3, 4, 7 and 8 are magnificent. Beside them being great technically, artistically they are awesome. The composition is great and they contain so much emotion. Really... really great set. Thank you for posting these.

    Amazing series.....

    These are the kind of shots that keep me motivated to continue shooting. Maybe someday I'll be fortunate enough to capture a single image like you seem to capture with ease.

    You know I'm a fan.
    I like the last two shots very much--the last shot keeps me coming back.

    Hi Awais,
    Are you living and shooting in Pakistan? I am just reading Three Cups of Tea (Penguin Books), about the work of Greg Mortenson's efforts to build schools in rural Pakistan. This could be a wonderful photo project for you to pursue. I love your work and thanks for sharing.

    Yes Jamie, i am living in Pakistan it is my country. Yes i have heard about that book and always looking forward to buy it, but i am very bad at reading anything soon i will try to focus my attention to this book. I heard about the school projects this man is running and very interesting story.

    Pakistanis do love Tea, and i am one of them you are always invited on Tea:ivar
