Thanks to 'Pinterest' that I found this long time back photograph taken by a photo journalist that was taken for the cover page of National Geographic magazine in 1984. The 'Afghan Girl' is the best known photograph by Steeve McCurry who is a universally recognized photojournalist. Here I have attached the link to his website & blog as well.
Later in 2002 she was rephotographed & according to the comment based on these pictures I found on Pinterest again by a gentleman stating - " The 'Afghan Girl'. Her iconic photo appeared on the cover of National Geographic in 1984. The image of her face, with a red scarf draped loosely over her head and with her piercing sea-green eyes staring directly into the camera, became a symbol both of the 1980s Afghan conflict and of the refugee situation worldwide. The image itself was named "the most recognized photograph" in the history of the magazine. She was finally found and rephotographed in 2002. "
Sometimes you just love to share such work of people so here I have done the same. This is the best photograph taken by him of that era which still is a great master piece.
