Photographer's Note
The covered alleyways of the old city provide and interesting light if your exploring this old Uighur oasis with your camera. Strategically situated as a nexus along the ancient silk road - the old part of this city is perhaps one of the most fascinating places in China's northwest.

Hello, Caleb,
this is superb. I love the way the light comes in from the top right. The soft, muted colors and contrast are perfect. Her expression is wary, but friendly. I am a huge fan of portraits and this one is wonderful. Thanks, warm regards,
Shelly

Hi Caleb,
I haven't been around TE in so long that it was good to see an image of yours on the first page to keep me interested.
Again - just classic beautiful travel photography - well composed and full of exciting textures and colour. I'm thinking of taking a Xinjiang trip next summer...hope I can do half as well.

A beautiful portrait, with a nice light. The expression of the young girl in very sweet, and I like the colors of her dress, which make a nice contrast with the wood of the door.

I think I was missig your images earler. This one is superbly crafted with a straightinto the camera glare by the girl, great natural colours and a lovely everyday ambience. Nice to see this part of the world through your lens

Hi Caleb ,
Lovable shot.The expression of the eye , the gripping of her left hand, the wonderful background, the beautiful lighting condition..........look at those.
It is simply brilliant.

Hi Caleb Colbeeman
Now this shot really appeals to me. The way that you have used that door in this photograph is masterful. That old and weathered door contrasts nicely with the young sweet beauty of that pretty little girl, who you have caught in that wonderful side light.
The parallel lines of that door-frame, pull the eye into the picture towards that little girl and then behind her there is that dark area, which holds your eye in the frame.
This is the sort of shot that I dream about taking and can never quite pull it off. I am so jealous.

A really tender portrait, Caleb! Her look of amusement and curiosity is just classic! A phenomenal portrait from a fabled corner of the world. A favorite.
