I have been going to Kazakhstan a few times over the course of a year and a half or so. Some pics have already been posted others are new. I thought it would be interesting to compile a few shots. cc's welcome

    I'm liking #3 & 4. #1 could have been a good grab, but I suspect slo shutter resulted in subject blur

    Thanks Rags. I still kind of like #1 even though it's blurry. It is a genuine laugh.

    Good job, Juano. My pick would be #2. I like the way you framed her with those colorful red elements and her genuine expression that you have captured. Awesome! thumb.gifthumbthumb.gifclap.gifclapclap.gif

    Thanks Jiro, I like that one too. She was looking at something or lost in thought, I don't know.

    Thanks. I suppose you mean #3, I agree, it is an act of aggression in my view. I posted this pic some time ago and it generated a good discussion.

    I agree, it's amost as if he has her trapped and she is trying to back away. The photo says alot. Great shot.

    #3 is the one that really caught my attention. There is an intensity in the image that I don't often see captured. It starts one's imagination going as you spin a tale to fit the image.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thanks! This is an image that has always troubled me. Initially I hesitated to post it.
