When I first saw this portrait by Rebecca Tun I commented on it saying it was iconic. It reminds me of that famous National Geographic photo of the girl in Afghanistan. It is the kind of portrait that you never forget. Congratulations Rebecca on your well deserved win.

Portrait of a Girl by Rebecca Tun
Gorgeous eyes! So true about National Geographic. Haunting, lingering look.
Yay, thank you!
I have often wishfully compared this photo to that National Geographic photo, and other people have said the same thing.
Perhaps I should photograph Esther again in the same pose in 20 years’ time!
