What's she doing out of uniform?? :-) Gotta love the Afghan moon dust. Stuff is kinda amazing, really. Not when it's wet, though. Then it's just really, really sticky.

I had to come back and see what the story might be on this one. I had picked this as a top ten (or twenty at least) and gave you a 10. Surprised (shouldn't be I guess) that it came in at 70th.

When I first looked at this image I was a bit shocked to see an attractive woman in an obviously real (or way over the top staged) war (or training) scenario. Second, I wondered why this soldier wasn't wearing a helmet. The lack of a helmet put a slight tinge of feeling this could be staged. Then I looked deeper into the photo and noticed the military shelters in the background. I was then convinced this was the real deal.

After having to spend so much time wondering, questioning, admiring...I had to give it a 10 for making me stop for such a long consideration!

Congrats on a well done photo, and good luck with your book!

where has been captured this image? it seems a real scene of war theater. beautiful the cloud of sand in the backside of the car, there is a great contrast between the scene and the clean skin of the girl, securely this is a photoshop work on the image but it is a good contrast. the colour seems with to much yellow(but the environment have securely a yellow channel with high values) the sky have a natural color that come from the sand and the umidity(I think) 10
