Does anybody else think that Steve McCurry's "Afghan Girl" is the best portrait in the world?
no
inb4 freckle girl.
No and when she was interviewed she honestly could have cared less that it was famous. She was still poor when interviewed recently and honestly didn't give a shit she was angry at the time and escaping her country. It hasn't changed her life for the better moneywise. If anything she had to kinda relent and pull down her veil since she normally wears a facial covering as well and removing it is frowned uponGreat picture? No well done technically yes I'd just rank this as nice but not something that i go omg what a great photo!
Afghan Girl is one of the most famous but far from the best.Steve McCurry has made much better portraits.

>>1580391It's easily the most recognizable portrait but it would be tough to pit that against the body of work of Yusef Karsh.I got to see Karsh's photo of Churchill at the Louisville Speed Museum. They curators posted the backstory to the portrait which basically said Karsh had about 30 seconds and Churchill wouldn't give up his trademark cigar. Karsh went up to Churchill, the most powerful man in Europe, and ripped the cigar out of his mouth, and took the picture, Churchill's grimace and all.

>>1580391I think he's shot better, but it's really all about the subject. Those eyes are ridiculous.
>>1580391>>1580511I think that when photographers/photos are this good it comes down to taste. But then, it's taste making me say both photos are "this good."
Afghan girl... how did she get those eyes?
let's be honest this image is about those EYES! those haunting drilling into your soul EYES! that make this one memorablenot the best photo but those EYES! hehe and that harsh anger underneath those eyes are eerie and stay with you
>>1580527LOL. Bass is the only person that makes me want to go out and shoot in the mornings. Like a landscaper's alarm clock.
>>1580541I think the eye color is not uncommon for arabs/mid-eastern people and (to a far lesser extent) Indians.
>>1580546Really? How odd.They are beautiful though, I don't think I've ever seen a Caucasian with eyes like that.Unrelated, but I know of an American girl who is no less then 100% White, but is obsessed with Japan and has convinced herself she has a long-lost Japanese father and that the dad she's grown up with is a fake dad.She has bright blue eyes, and even after being explained to numerous times that for her to have blue eyes whilst being half-Japanese is extremely rare, she plays it off by saying shit like...>but Chiyo from Memoirs of a Geisha is Japanese and has blue eyes!!!!She thinks it's a true story..
>>1580548pics of said chick
>>1580548They are a very pretty eye color.
Fuck posting all these, just search for green eyed arab or some combination of that if you want more.
I have eyes like that

>>1580652only if she wears those boots.me-ow
>>1580541The tribe that Afghan Girl came from descended from Alexander's People. I can't remember the exact name, but they bred with the native ethnic Pashtun.
>>1580655Haha, well just so you know, she won't touch you unless you're an Asian male, or unless you're Mexican and "sort of" Asian looking.Her Rukia from Bleach cosplay.
>>1580652I want those pleather clad legs squeezing my sides as her milkbags slap me in the face while she bounces on my kawk.
>>1580657I look like a Russian. That's Asian.
that "woman" is fucking disgusting. reported.
>>1580658ive been to japan. i can regale her with tales about how i ate the fugu and drank suntory whisky in the park hyatt bar while i gently enter her from behind and whisper the names of yamanote line stops in her ear.
>>1580658Hmmm baybee.
I like it alot, but her eyes are way overshooped. I know it adds to the image but the retoucher has gone a bit too far.
I am disappoint, spoony.so very, very disappoint.
Spoony... why are you here? Other than that time when you posted that topless pic for Bizzare mag, what would entice you to be on this board?

>>1580777god damn those are some awesome tits.
i dont disapprove of what has transpired here.
Am I really on /p/? I'm scared. Please make it stop.
>>1580640Not gonna lie. I'd hit it, in missionary for the sole purpose of pro creation and pleasure
>>1580640moar of this goddess plox
>>1580548>I don't think I've ever seen a Caucasian with eyes like that.You have, since Afghan Girl is definitely a Caucasian. Caucasian doesn't have to mean Anglo or Aryan.Those green/grey eyes are found all along the Southern Mediterranean, Turkey, the Levant, with a big concentration in old Persia.Green/Grey eyes often have freckles in them, and seem to glow and change color when they catch the light. I think that's why they come out great in photos.pic related. Adriana Lima
>>1580838>pic related, some ugly bitch
>>1580859>ugly bitch>wouldn't bang
>>1580838they aren't exclusively mediterranean either- i'm half aryan half celtic and i have those eyes, same color combo (blue grey rim, light green inside, gold around iris)
>>1580867Could just be the shit makeup, huge nose, lip flare, and the buck teeth.
>>1580777>dat pic without make-up but I would bang the rest
>>1580869I don't know what Celt group you're from, but its quite possible for Celts to have green eyes. They extended through most of continental Europe, and far beyond Scotland and Ireland.Here's a Romanian girl with green eyes and slightly tan skin. Gypsy people were originally from Indian continent. If you look carefully you can see the resemblance to children from the Hindu Kush like Afghan Girl.Alternative theory = ALIENS
Rare eye colour makes the best portrait?How about other facial features (or lack thereof)?>>1580838*facepalm*Afghans are closer to Aryan than any Nord or Teuton.Aryans were Persian/Afghan/Northern Indian[EXIF data available.

>>1580966I wonder what it's like to sneeze with that?
