Orphaned Afghani girl

In the 10 days 500 innocent Afghanis have been killed by the USA and

its partners.This is were your tax dollars are going,there will be

many more orphans like this little girl.Sleep soundly in your

beds,George Bush is keeping you safe.Remember God chose him, or so he

believes.

Striking image. Her eyes are penetrating! Nicely done!

What a great portrait , It's beautiful

Fantastic portrait, so strong and expressive, really touching!

Fabulous shot, Birte. It will soon be selected for National Geographic Magazine. Reminds me of Steve McCurry' famous shot of Afghan girl. Suffering has made their eyes glow with wrath for humanity.

I agrre with A.K>Sircar.........the eyes tell the story of many pains !

Magic face, with wonderful eyes that hypnotize you. Best regards. Eugenio.

 

It's really heartbreaking that these beautiful eyes, they can wind up as a consequence of wars. The innocent are always the most disadvantaged. Max anon. Best wishes. Vicente.

Guau!!!. Es todo expresion, que mirada,... que ojos. Saludos

You have accomplished something meaningful with your camera. My regards.

Birte, this is a very touching shot.My compliments , you have the contact and compassion necessary for catching scenes and transmitting a love for humanity through your photos.

Ciao Anto

Beautifully presented. Wonderful details shown and her expression speaks volumes about herself.

Ever considered selling this to National Geographic? Excellent capture of this heartbreaking little girl. So sad.

I feel her ... great color, lighting and texture.... a beautiful child, Birte... I know someone will give her the love and care that she needs and wants... warmest regards

Great eyes. Great capture. tells a lot about her feelings. Well done!

Especially eyes and views.. Warm regards.. 7/7

This image will have a strong impact where ever it gets published. Great work, Birte.

,,,but a bit of a biased message, wouldn't you say? Under the Taliban, this young girl may or may not still have been orphaned, but she definitely would have faced a life of persecution and fear simply because she is female.

 

And don't forget, under the previous regime, you would not even have been allowed to capture this image, let alone try to get it published!

just wonderful...what series of stunning images...regards

Great portrait. Well done. Warm regards, Tina

Birte, coming back to this because your opening comment doesn't feel right to me. In fact, Afghanistan has been involved in Civil Wars and war with the Russians since World War II. The First Phase: The Saur Revolution and Soviet Occupation (1933-1979); the Second Phase: From the Geneva Accords to the Mujahidin's Civil War (1988-1994); and The Third Phase: The Taliban's Conquest of Afghanistan (1993-present). Here's the link: http://www.hrw.org/backgrounder/asia/afghan-bck1023.htm . Please read it and note that others get more credit than the U.S. for this misery in the last century.

 

Sorry but thats the past.I am talking about whats happening NOW!
