Live Music of danger zone !

Awais Yaqub

He was playing folk music on Rabab an instrument from Iran . After hearing it I became huge fan of it what a sound. This is played in danger zone ! i.e Pakistan-Afghanistan border areas ! and rabab is quite famous there history tells this instrument is from Iran . He is wearing national dress of Pakistan and Turban style of Sarhad (bordar state of pak and afgahinstan) people from that area are really great if you meet them. Known for hospitality ! if you are there guests.

I also made video but it is too big after converting it to 2mb size on movie maker but then converting it to MPEG 1 file size increases to 20 mb !!
What should i do ? 2 min clip

Background was too busy so I converted it to bw

Nice, and nice recovery from a busy background.

My only gripe is your post is in such a small font--why change that? The standard font is standard because it's easy to read!

Aside from some very slight haloing from b&w and colorizing, this is a phenomenal shot! Awesome capture and very interesting information!

I have to say that I like the bg being in b&w. I think in color it would distract from your subject- the man. The way you have it- you don't even really notice the bg- which is the way it's supposed to be! Great job!
