Hi Baran,
a nice portrait, very natural. I´m wondering about the beautifully blurred background with f/9.0 ?
Good job, compliments, Chris

Boran-
The eyes of the young girl tell a prophetic story. If memory serves me, there is much turmoil in this part of Turkey. I believe it is where the Kurds are insurgent.
She looks as though she is lost in her mind. Maybe dreaming of a better time, or a past joy. Such a beautiful child, with beautiful eyes, with such obvious poverty. It makes my heart both happy and sad at the same time.
Great, incredible shot!

Hello Baran,
Nice!! Black and white working so well here. A pity you didn't get a look into your direction, but even the way she's looking right now it's just wonderful to look at her appearance and especially her eyes. I do like the tight cropping forwhich you have choosen as well. I like it!!
Greetings,
Dennis

A very beautiful touching photo. I like the sunshine in her hair and shades on her face. What an earth this little girl is thinking? Her eyes look sad.....
I will add this to my favorites.
Cheers, Kaisa
