Oh, if ever there was a photograph to show us a clash of cultures, then this would be it! I can feel the tension in the group of 3 women from here, but I'm not sure if the 4th woman feels awkward at all :)
It is a good photo which provokes emotions in the viewer, and this one does!
Saad Salem Al Sheihk.  thank you so much.

I remember this image so vividly. I cannot understand how I did not comment on this.
Well, for me this is one of those images that one might be lucky to capture once in a life-time. I would like to believe that it is candid - everything about it tells me that it is.
Barring a jury that is very PC, this image, with that very title, is something that should be seen by many more. The enjoyment factor simply demands that. Ironical? I dunno - but it works for me, and I shall go as far as promising that this is a competition winner. But only Big Competitions please - it has the hall-marks of BC all over it.
Saad Salem Al Sheihk.  I am delighted to know your view,delighted to be from you .
appreciated so much.

Excellent photo, I think has to go in PHOTO BOOK for this year. Power of this excellent life photo is meeting of 2 cultures and views on life in this so beautiful world. What is more interesting is different behaviour of tree persons. Girl on the right has the best pose. Bravo maestro.
Al Sheihk  Thank you so much Dragan, appreciated with regards,

Who is right ? Who is wrong ? Is it a question of right and wrong ? Food for thought !

Excelent !
Al Sheihk  thank you,I should not answer that,but I guess it is about our voluntarily choices,one great answer I have read somewhere else,it is about discovering our bodies.

I guess this is why they are called "reflex" cameras! Congratulation on this great capture, such compelling storytelling in one single image, and I love the fact that the elder woman is smiling even though she hides the sight with her hand... ;)

First, you made me laugh my head off, then evoked admiration for the direction you're pushing gently your viewer to - tolerance.
A revelation!
My best,

Apart from the cultural diversity portrayed nicely, the other thing that caught my attention here was the fact that the white rocks they are walking on gave a disguised feel of ice (from the thumbnail) ..which of course adds the sense of mystery/surprise which is often an important element of a successful photo.

You did well here.
Avi
