Not duly to the fact that liberal media capitalized on it, its still a really good portrait overall. Although some of Mccurry and Mccullin works are better than a simple headshot. Take for example Mccurry's isolated portraits, with the background pitch black. Kodachrome was the only film that could pull off such clean colors.

Because it was on the cover of National Geographic.

He took a lots of other pictures that were not on the cover of NatGeo, they are less famous. But some are just as good, you might argue that some are even better.

For me, it is the gorgeour looking eyes, the stare, the colors, her face, everything. It's a one in a lifetime shot and McCurry nailed it.

Having been to Central Asia, both in Tajikistan and Afghanistan, I can tell you there's people there you could drop in small villages in NW Europe without standing out. You could take an elderly man from a small Wakhi village, put him next to my grandfather and people won't be able to tell on sight which one was born where.

There's obviously nothing natural about an emulsion of chemicals, specifically designed to give vivid colors when exposed to light and submerged in other chemicals, then projected on a piece of paper coated in even more chemicals.

But it isn't colorized or photoshopped.

He didn't edit it, but then again, you're not looking at his print either. Depending on the source, the pic looks very different:

She's young, pretty and lost her home and parents to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, which made her perfect propaganda material for the US back then.
