Caption: Afghan girl on a swing An Afghan girl in a traditional Pashtun dress plays happily on a swing in Kabul at Nawroz, the Afghan new year, which starts on March 23, 2004.   Critique:   This is a very striking photo that conveys a sense of joy and shows a little slice of an exotic world. It photo has an extremely long depth of field as shown by the fact that the girl (CVI) and the mountains are both in relatively sharp focus. This allows you to notice the interesting stone buildings in the hillside. It is also shot with a very high shutter speed (at least 1/1000) because there is no blur at all. What makes it truly interesting though is the composition. The way the photographer positions the swing ropes parallel to the jagged mountains creates very effective leading lines. The fact that the background around the girl is a blue sky instead of the distracting mountains also creates the effect of simplicity around the CVI.
