visit: www.mitchellkphotos.com This girl was a diamond in the rough in her small village in Kutchh, Gujarat. When I asked to photograph her, she was shy, but everyone cheered her on and encouraged her. She stood in front of the camera, I think she knew that she was special and understood why I wanted to take her picture. Between her shy laughter and hesitant looks the wind played with her hair and she gave me that intense glance, mature beyond her years. I pressed the shutter.

    Without the light and shade so strategically placed, it may have been just another shot of another girl - except her beautiful eyes are almost alien! I do like choice of colours. Is that really her own hand?

    The light in the eyes is stunning.

    although perhaps a little cliche, I love the colour, tones and light in this shot!

    Looks like the famous National Geographic photograph of an Afganistani girl, brilliant!
