I shot this image one afternoon while at work with a Canon 5D and the 80-200/2.8; distance is about 50-60 meters. This is a major crop from the original and post-processed with Elements for sharpness, contrast, and saturation. I'd often see the ladies of the house out washing clothes and such but didn't see the children that often. Afghan women wear out quickly- they spend their lives working and having children. The burqa is seen regularly on the streets, but in the more private courtyards of homes- where this photograph was made- it is never seen.
This post is something of a test to see if the hosting site worked out ok- image is a little large and I apologize if that causes any issues.
