What interests me about the photography of Steve McCurry is the eyes of the people he is taking pictures of. In the first, her eyes are just sort of crazy and it gives off this scary, intense, intimidating kind of feeling, and her eyes make the picture very powerful. For the second, her eyes are more calm, and I guess more accepting of the situation she is in. It gives off an interesting, sort of hard to describe feeling when looking at the picture. Overall, I just think that they eyes of the people he's photographing really make his pictures powerful and you can get something out of them, which is what makes them great photos.
