Photographs I like #3

This photo of the Afghan girl is not only one of the most famous photographs ever, but one of my favorites as well.  Taken by Steve Mccurry, this photo is very simple yet evokes so much emotion.  One aspect I like are how vivid the girls eyes are.  It's as if she is telling a story with them.  Her expression reveals so much about her life.  Also, I like that Mccurry was able to make such a simple portrait so complex.
