Thanks for all the votes and comments! I have forgotten how good it feels to ribbon. It has been a while.
This is my take of the Afghan Girl photograph from National Geographic. A few commenters actually pointed it out -- which is nice. I have always wanted to do it and when I met Noelle, I just knew I had to do it. She definitely was a great model. I had such a great time shooting her portraits.
Thanks again everyone! :)

Thought of the Natl Geographic photo when I saw yours. Well done and congrats! I had you finishing just below the lighthouse(still gave it a 10 though) ... ;)
Excellent! Great colors, Nationa Geogrphic had one like it with just red-cloth, I think Librodo has done something similar. So, there are many types of planes in the sky, too.
Just my opinion, I'd like to see more symetric, one-half of the nose. Slightly rotated more to her right, to lessen the curve of the chin. But that's just some improvements toward perfection.
This one resembles the one published by NG, the all time NG popular photo. I can't remember the neame of the photo, I think it is call the AFGHAN (IRAQIE) girl. //www.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/100best/storyA_story.html
for as great as this photo is, i think the only reason im not going to score it as high as it might deserve is because its just not anything new, and i mostly vote on how 'original' the photo is
