Sorry this didn't finish higher - you fell victim to the 'shot' not in your execution which is gorgeous. Of course having such a beautiful model is a HUGE help!!

Wow I love the overall look of the image, the colors even look very Kodachromish....however, the brightness of the eyes is a bit over-done in my opinion. Looks a tad unnatural. However, overall nice image. 7

So far, this is the best take on Afghan Girl I've seen. Great eyes. The expression and mystery isn't quite there, but it's a really good effort. 7.

Eyes are overprocessed and other similar shots in this challenge are executed better. 5

Good replication of the photo. I like how you used a slightly dirty/beat up cloth to give the photo a more authentic feel.

Nice try... I think you found a very nice model and really good sourcing on the cloth... But... She looks tired and bored, not intimidated... 6, would have been an 8 with a better expression... Sorry.

Incredible how the eyes are so similar to the original. A popular choice in this challenge - this is one of the better ones.
