#10 National Geographic (June 1985)Photographer Steve McCurry immortalized the haunted eyes of a 12-year-old refugee in a camp on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. Soviet helicopters destroyed her village and family, forcing her to make a two-week trek out of the perilous mountains of Afghanistan. The photo became a National Geographic icon after it was published on the cover in June 1985. Since then, this raw, untouched image has been used on rugs and tattoos, making it one of the most widely reproduced photos in the world.
My Critique: I love this picture. The way her eyes captivate you and suck you into the picture is indescribable. The fact that there is a simple background definetly helps, yet it is so captivating with the color of her skin to the bright colors of her clothing and eyes. This is a perfect example of the right picture the right exposure and the perfect timing. I love this picture and could look at it for hours.
