Phong,
That was a picture from a few years ago. Subsequently, National Geo (I
believe) tried to find the beautiful subject but were unable to locate her.
Apparently she is missing.

Hi Dick,
I too saw the picture.
I don't know about Nikon equipment, but the picture of the Afghan
refugee with her beautiful, piercing, haunting eyes, is certainly
Steve
McCurry's. It graces the cover of National Geographic The Photographs.
(Is she looking into the conscience of mankind ?). I wonder if Steve
McCurry/Nikon/National Geographic secured a model release to use
her picture in this commercial advertisement.
