I look forward to other entries you submit. Kabul, or Afghanistan is a photographer's paradise. Just look around and you can find something for every challenge. Mud buildings, donkey carts in traffic, kids, people in general with some spectacular lighting and lest I forget, Jinga trucks with their ordinate decorations (and loads). Good luck with the challenges and stay safe.

I forgot to mention the incredible landscapes. Mountains, terraced hillsides, and sunsets.

The water bottle gets lost with the all the large objects around it. It is a good composition but I would like this better if the bottle wasn't in it.

This just isn't doing it for me. The bottle seems like an afterthought. Maybe if it were down by the tire with the vest.

The vest resting against the tire adds a lot of story to this shot.

Brother, the bottle gets lost in the sky. Sitting in front of the body armor and portrait would convey the message better I think. Stay safe, De Oppresso Liber.
