Superb image that really tells the story brilliantly. I felt the coach's face was a little lacking in contrast and a little dark, so I uploaded a workshop with a slightly lighter more contrasty face...

Mujahid, I do look forward to see ing your photos. The lighing here is good - I like how it shows up in the dust behind the team, and also on the coaches face. The clouds look good too.
Well done - another brilliant Buzkashi image from you
Thank you

Super Photo!! Excellent! My roommate knew this was a game played with sheep. I learned that today. This is an incredible picture, Mujahid. It looks like a painting with how well the game players in the background stayed in focus - shooting at f/8, that surprises me. Well done. TFS. -Kelly

Asalaam Alaikum Mujahid Sahib. Mashallah annother great photograph and capture of this handsome coach personality. The lighting is good with great perpective and a little drama with the dust adding to the action. The note about Buzkashi is brief but descriptive enough.Congratulations on an excellent post.

Hello Mujahid,

This is very good portrait. Very good lighting and shades. Nice details.

While going through your galary one more time, I saw a picture with title 'The Captain'. I was comparing this one ('The Coach') and 'The Captain'. The most eye-catchy thing I observed was the position of left side person. The position and eye-expressions are perfectly justifying the photograph title.

Bonjour Mujahid,

I am really impress by the quality of your work (all your work). You could be a movie picture director. In this picture le light and its direction is splendid. It give a nice effect on the sand dust, plus with this angle the man's face the ground and the mountain exibit marvelous 3D volumes effects. Finally those dark solid clouds enhance the brillance of the rest of the image. Definitively one of the best images seen on Trek Lens. TFS.
