The picture, titled "Afghan Girl", appeared on the June 1985 cover of "National Geographic". The image of her face, with a red scarf draped loosely over her head and her eyes staring directly into the camera, was named "the most recognized photograph" in the magazine's history, and the cover is one of "National Geographic's" most famous. "American Photo" magazine says the image has an "unusual combination of grittiness and glamour". Sharbat Gula's green eyes have been the subject of much commentary.
